Resources
This resource provides stakeholders and development workers with a toolbox of resources which aim to improve community participation in development projects.
"It is intended for those who have realized, through their own experiences, that participation is an essential prerequisite for sustainable development. While this “toolbox” should serve as a source of inspiration for their work, it should never be viewed as a book of “recipes”." (Geilfus, 2008)
