Community Benefits

Ensuring local communities gain equitable, lasting benefits from major investments and projects

Why It Matters

Benefit-sharing frameworks frequently focus on compensation over long-term development outcomes.

Weak governance, unclear land rights, and asymmetric information further drive inequitable outcomes.

Our Approach

We support governments, civil society, and communities with embedding community rights and participation into policies, processes and practices.

We help develop practical tools — from model contract clauses to participatory planning templates — that can connect community benefit sharing approaches with broader development and transition strategies. Our goal is to ensure that investments build long-term value, locally, instead of just short-term transfers.
