PC300 Strengthening Underserved Communities
Description
Community-based development is rooted in the idea that individuals and groups are best suited to identifying and addressing social problems in their own communities.

This course will provide an overview of community-based development, frameworks for development, and tools and resources that can be utilized by non-profits and development workers in international contexts.
