Facilitating an Asset-Based Community-Driven (ABCD) Approach for Holistic Community Development

Export citation

This ‘Facilitating an Asset-Based Community-Driven (ABCD) Approach for Holistic Community Development: A Manual for Community Organising’ is the result of joint efforts by the members of the ABCD team of World Agroforestry (ICRAF) to create a simple and precise document to facilitate the ABCD process and support community development. This manual primarily addresses community organisers, including people working for organisations that implement development projects, including resilience building and climate change adaptation projects. It is intended to help community organisers to take an asset-based community-driven (also called citizen-led) approach, to facilitate inclusive workshops and to provide them with practical tools and operational principles.
