Why Integrated Development​

Why an Integrated Strategy for Economic Growth?

Integrated Development
Integrated development is an intentional approach for linking community development across sectors to produce an amplified impact. It is the simple – but profoundly important ­– understanding that individual and social well-being is connected. Health, education, employment, gender equality, housing, political participation: these are linked and reinforcing cycles that require strategic and coordinated support in vulnerable communities.

​FFW has seen the need for integrated development first-hand: thriving female entrepreneurs could be struck off course by a sick child; educational opportunities for a young person could be completely derailed by unattainable school fees; contaminated water can debilitate entire communities; broken housing can lead to health and education and business issues. This is why FFW subscribes to a holistic approach to empowerment and upliftment in Liberia during an exciting and important moment in history: direct foreign investment is increasing dramatically thanks to relatively stable leadership and Liberians are poised to benefit from economic growth and improvements in basic services and infrastructure.
