The Center for Local Resource Development is open to partnerships with Canadian and international NGOs, donor organizations, research institutions, and Ghanaian government bodies at the district and national level. As an implementing organization with deep community roots, CLRD brings contextual knowledge, established community relationships, and field-level expertise that complement the program design and funding capacities of larger organizations.

CLRD approaches partnerships on the basis of shared commitment to community-led development and local value retention, grounded in the knowledge and priorities of rural Ghanaian communities.
