Through Asset-Based Community Development, Episcopal Relief & Development seeks to assist individuals and whole communities in believing in themselves – their #knowledge, their #abilities, their #values, their #worth – to break through traditional hierarchical perceptions of power and cycles of dependence reinforced by an overemphasis on outside solutions and outside funds. https://lnkd.in/ezp9gn7t #EpiscopalRelief

Today, I attended a workshop titled Moving from Doing For to Doing With Residents. This workshop is aimed at last-mile GROs to help us shift from ‘Doing For’ to ‘Doing With’ the residents in our communities. It introduces the concept of Community Participation, emphasizing its importance in community development, and provides practical skills and knowledge to support this approach. The workshop also serves as a space for us to exchange ideas and learn from one another, with successful examples discussed through case studies. A key takeaway for me was the realisation that fostering collaboration with residents, rather than working on their behalf, creates stronger, more sustainable community outcomes. #nacli #ToaPayohEast #CommunityParticipation #CollaborativeCommunities #CommunityDevelopment #EmpowerResidents #GrassrootsEngagement #CommunityBuilding #ResidentEngagement

My experience has reaffirmed the belief that investing in grassroots initiatives can spark substantial community development and create lasting impact. Empowerment economics focuses on the strengths of communities, fostering local leadership, and building economic structures that distribute resources more equitably. This bottom-up approach recognizes the transformative power of local capacity and community solidarity. #communitydevelopment #GrassrootsInitiatives #EmpowermentEconomics #localleadership #CommunitySolidarity #BottomUpApproach #economicequity #sustainabledevelopment #communityempowerment #socialmedia #socialimpact #linkedin Shaun Smithson
