Economic and Community Systems (ECS)

ECS exists to strengthen community based programming through capacity building of local citizens and the various community partners and collaborators. ECS serves as the programming point linking extension capacity of land-grant universities with community partners and key decision makers engaged in community development work. ECS uses a cooperative process in which people of the community and government leaders arrive at group decisions and, together, design programs to strengthen the social and economic well-being of our island community.
