Inhaltsangabe:

This book describes communities that first built on their own assets, before seeking assistance from outside. What are the common factors that help all these communities mobilize? Do outside organizations have a role to play? It is aimed at community workers, researchers and policy makers who want to take a fresh look at community development.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren: Alison Mathie has over 30 years experience in the international development field and has been teaching at the Coady International Institute and St Francis Xavier University for the last 10 years. Her main interest has been in promoting asset-based and community-driven approaches to community development, and using monitoring and evaluation as a means to strengthening practice by communities, NGOs, and multi-lateral agencies.

Gordon Cunningham has more than 20 years of experience in community economic development and community-based microfinance. At the Coady Institute, he is involved in several collaborative action research initiatives in Africa and South East Asia exploring the application of asset-based and citizen-driven approaches to community development. Gordon also teaches and has co-authored several articles relating to these topics in The Canadian Journal of Development Studies and Development and Practice.
