Traditional leaders have kept communities functioning for generations. That foundation already exists.

What has changed is the environment around them. Planning rules, infrastructure delivery, policy, and land administration now sit largely outside their control.

When those systems fail or stall, pressure builds, and communities begin to fracture or migrate.

RACC does not replace traditional leadership.

It removes bottlenecks around it, providing coordination, professional support, and economic structure so decisions can be made faster, more fairly, and with long-term stability in mind.

Funding doesn’t do the work. It allows the work to move.
