The Local Engagement Assessment Framework (LEAF) is a planning and assessment tool to determine the level of ownership by national and community actors at every level of a project. It helps users determine who should be engaged and how, and provides standardized language about ownership to adapt in different contexts. The checklist helps USAID and partners think about what locally led development means in practice throughout the program cycle and across different technical sectors. This is a webinar.
