What is community development?

Community development is a process where community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems. Community wellbeing (economic, social, environmental and cultural) often evolves from this type of collective action being taken at a grassroots level. Community development ranges from small initiatives within a small group to large initiatives that involve the broader community.
​Effective community development should be:
  • A long-term endeavor
  • Well planned
  • Inclusive and equitable
  • Initiated and supported by the community members
  • Of benefit to the community
  • Grounded in experience that leads to best practices
​Community development is a grassroots process by which communities:
  • Become more reasonable
  • Organize and plan together
  • Develop healthy lifestyle options
  • Empower themselves
  • Reduce poverty and suffering
  • Create employment and economic opportunities
  • Achieve social, economic, cultural, and environmental goals

Community Development seeks to improve quality of life. Effective community development results in mutual benefit and shared responsibility among community members. Such development recognizes:
  • The diversity of interests within the community
  • Its relationship to building capacity
  • Community development helps to build
