philgoddard
: I don't disagree with your translation, but where do you get "backward" from? //No, that's not what it means. It just means "ordinary people" or "people on the ground", which is why I suggested "grassroots".

Phil Goddard's suggestion also works, but here is another suggestion in case you want to avoid using 'grassroots'.

coordinating grassroots organisation/local communities
i believe in animation, there is the idea of managing/running or coordinating and not just working with these local communities.
