What’s this CLDP all about?

Community-Led Development is about enabling communities to create change in the places they live, work and play in from the ground up. By identifying what our strengths and assets already are, and building on those foundations, community members themselves are the driving force to create the community we all want.

Community-Led Development is about building strong local leadership, working collaboratively and learning by doing. Click here to learn more about it.

We aim to work by the principles of Community-Led Development in all we do:

Grow from Shared Local Visions - Our Vision and priorities are shaped by the people who live in the community

Build from Strengths - We respect and build on local knowledge, strengths and experience

Work with diverse people and sectors - We grow intentional collaboration across diverse sectors and people

Grow collaborative local leadership - Communities own and drive their own solutions with local leadership at the centre

Learn by doing - We learn by doing to achieve long term system change, not just short term projects
