Early Lessons! SMU Model provides a low cost yet catalytic and transformational approach to community development ISNC modality provides a launch pad for domesticating the SDGs Goals 1,2,3, 5, 6,8 and 16 Mindset change is a process Start from the known! The ISNC access criteria and its successful application has been leveraged for other government programmes There is an overwhelming demand for the ISNC model in the communities outside the project area

CONCLUSION ISNC as a development solution: Stimulates active participation and inclusion in the development process Provides a cost-effective highroad for resource delivery to the grassroots Leverages community support for uptake of Government policies and programmes Generates knowledge to influence policies on community empowerment Is an important model for domesticating and realising the SDGs I THANK YOU!
