Citizen Voice and Action (CVA) is a transformative approach that empowers communities to actively participate in their development, fostering a sense of ownership and accountability. Through the CVA model, community members identify their pressing issues, engage with duty bearers such as government officials and service providers, and work collaboratively to find sustainable solutions. This process ensures that development efforts are community-driven, lasting, and truly responsive to local needs.
