Synopsis

This 5th Edition continues to be the definitive guide for community development workers, students and practitioners alike. The book contextualizes poverty against the backdrop of the Millennium Development Goals and explains the process of community development with specific reference to the community development worker's role. In this latest edition more attention is paid to the development environment, concepts such as asset-based community development and the social enterprise sector are explained, and the principles of sustainability and compassion are underscored. Apart from context and process, the book details the skills required by a community development worker, with a focus on the importance of communication.
