Highlighting opportunities for strategic partnerships that allow communities and other
partners to share the benefits, risks and training costs.
Providing for the small successes that are encouraging and motivating for the community

Making it easier to evaluate progress (especially from feedback from clients) and to
present funders, partners, and community members with effective information about that
progress.

from doing. Impatience with planning is always a challenge.
Public expectations may be unrealistic, looking for jobs as an immediate outcome.
Careful assessment may turn up more human resource...
