Inclusive stakeholder engagement at local level is crucial for fostering safe, inclusive, and resilient communities. By involving a diverse array of stakeholders, including marginalized groups, local businesses, and civil society organizations, the community can address the unique needs and perspectives of all its members. This comprehensive approach ensures more effective and sustainable solutions to local challenges. Including religious leaders in these dialogues is particularly important, as they often hold significant influence and trust within their communities. Their participation can facilitate broader acceptance of initiatives, bridge cultural and social divides, and promote unity and cooperation in achieving community resilience. #communitydevelopment #resilientcommunities #SDGs #Peacebuilding #safeandinclusivecommunities #ruraandurbanplanning

Imbalances of power can manifest throughout an entire project and hinder any participatory goals you may have; the very first reflexive practice question for you is, "What do I know about myself?" Understanding your positionality is essential, even before you write the proposal. Follow for a #Reflexivepractice question every Friday morning.
#Reflexivepractice Friday Today's question is, "What do I know about myself?" A question commonly considered by qualitative researchers might seem silly to ask a community development practitioner. How community development practitioners understand approaches like "co-design," "participation," and "locally led" shapes how they engage in community development projects and, therefore, influences their success. So-called participatory approaches can perpetuate colonial structures or be used as an instrument to democratise development projects. The approaches, methods, activities and tools used in the project, and the community's roles, depend largely on the community development team/practitioners' worldviews, values, and stance towards social inclusion. #GEDSI #communitydevelopment #internationaldevelopment #particpation #socialinclusion

Community listening involves assembling people to examine distinctive problems and facilitating dialogue. The objective is to understand diverse perspectives within the community, encourage mutual understanding, identify common ground, and inspire collaborative efforts. This approach improves community engagement, boosts shared values, and empowers citizens to collectively address challenges and contribute to local decision-making processes. #civility #civildiscourse #civildialogue #communitybuilding #community #activelistening #mutualunderstanding #commonground #dispute #disputeresolution
