COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Program

 

Cooperate with tribes and agencies to build sustainable village economies to compliment a traditional lifestyle.

The Council of Athabascan Tribal Governments successfully developed a cooperative agreement in 2003 with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to provide the Yukon Flats RC&D program. The cooperative agreement is the only one of its kind in Alaska.
