Course Overview

In order to understand community development, is it important to understand that it means different things to different people in different places — and that our understanding about what constitutes effective or appropriate community development has expanded considerably in the past few years. What we do know is that it is founded on voluntary and healthy interdependence, mutual benefit and shared responsibility.

In recent years, more often than not, community development has involved local people seeking and taking advantage of opportunities or working together to solve problems.

This Diploma in Community Development Practice is a distance learning programme designed to enable community designers and workers gain a thorough understanding of community development combined with the practical skills necessary to work effectively in development work.
