Lessons from experiences in Kenya and East Africa were analysed in order to derive fundamental elements and guiding principles for school-community linkages in education for sustainable development. These include capacity strengthening, appropriate learning and extension resources, schools as resource and outreach centres, school-community needs assessment, monitoring and evaluation, appropriate approaches and methodologies, awareness creation and mobilization, relevant curriculum, enabling policy and working environment, continuous dialogue between community and schools, resource mobilization and equity in benefits and resource sharing. Practical guidelines are proposed for practitioners and policy makers that should increase the likelihood of successful outcomes in education for sustainable development
