1919 <br />Community Engagement <br />The community engagement piece is integral to pitch <br />development.The community is not considered a recipient but <br />rather an essential pillar in the realisation of each pitch and the <br />decision-making process. <br />The approach implemented will be participatory,by talking to <br />community stakeholders,understanding their needs, <br />appreciating their contexts,and collaborating to find the <br />optimal solutions for each.Within its partners worldwide, <br />streetfootballworld works through local community-based <br />organisations that are part of its network and engages its <br />affiliate members when the community requests expertise on <br />community engagement,sustainability,income generation, <br />and other aspects. <br />In certain cases,and to gauge communities’interest and sense <br />of ownership,committees are set up,be it pitch advisory <br />committees,youth committees,maintenance committees,etc. <br />All members are part of the community and hence,become <br />responsible for ensuring that the pitch investment continues to <br />be a valuable and safe space for all community members. <br />Photo credits: streetfotballworld <br />Exhibit 1
