Bringing people together
The first step of Community Development is to identify neighborhoods and then inform and organize the inhabitants into community councils. It involves the following steps:
- Establishing boundaries of a neighborhood (200-300 households) and housing clusters within a neighborhood (10-15 households)
- Organizing awareness trainings for each housing cluster
- Electing a community development council (CDC) which comprises of a chairperson, treasurer and secretary by representatives of each housing cluster
- Registering CDCs with the local authorities and open a bank account
- Organizing CDCs into large clusters of approx. 6-15 CDCs
