Förlagets beskrivning
International Community Development Practice provides readers with practice-based examples of good community development, demonstrating its value for strengthening people power and improving the effectiveness of development agencies, whether these be governmental, non-governmental or private sector. The chapters focus upon the eight core competences required of the professional practitioner, as outlined by the IACD, whatever their job title or host agency, in order to be able to undertake community development. These are concerned with the ability of the practitioner to: * Put ethics and values into practice; * Engage with communities; * Ensure participatory planning; * Organize for change; * Support learning for change; * Promote diversity and inclusion; * Build leadership and infrastructure; * Develop and improve policy and practice. From a policy perspective, the book will reassert the role of community development approaches as related to a wide variety of global challenges, including the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. This includes poverty amelioration, climate change, human rights, peace building, social, environmental, political and economic development. From a practice perspective, the book will reassert the importance of high levels of professional competence in practice building upon decades of shared experience in fields for social workers, health professionals, environmental protection practitioners, local economic development professionals, community workers, cultural workers and many more
