Facilities: Partnership Details: AAB works in partnership with local organizations. This gives greater strength and legitimacy as the work is done by an organization from the same area and decisions are taken as close to the ground as possible. This allows AAB to broaden the realm of its reach and influence in program implementation. It is also an important mechanism by which a broader commitment can be found to implement the developmental agenda.
