What we restore
Enterprise and Community Self Reliance
Develop useful skills, ethical microbusiness, local trade and practical economic capacity.
Why it matters
Local skills and fair trade let communities sustain their own projects. This field looks at mentoring, producers, repairs and project finance in a way that can be examined.
Source framing
The source name uses the term Covenant Economics, meaning an approach to trade built on keeping honest commitments. Using the term does not create any legal power or change anyone's legal status, and no investment, lending or credit scheme is proposed here.
What the work covers
- Skills and mentoring
