In ECSOM, sustainable development maintains the integrity of the critical inter-

relationship between local economic development, ecological resources, and

social welfare.

strengthen their sense of ownership to their natural resources, and capacitate

them to build and manage their own enterprises to have as stronger bargaining position in local market.

measures the economic performance of a community.
