Development Mission:
To strengthen and diversify the regional economy through training and technical assistance in community planning and business development.

Kawerak's Community Planning and Development program provides training and technical assistance to Bering Strait communities in small business start-up and expansion, as well as economic development planning and project implementation. This includes developing a community’s capacity to plan, secure funding for, and implement local projects by assisting tribal governments in developing grant proposals and providing grant writing training.

The Community Planning and Development Program promotes sustainable communities by developing their capacity to plan, fund and implement locally identified priority projects. The Program provides funding information and technical assistance on proposals to all communities.
