Description
People-Led Development Process: A Contemporary Approach to Community Development in the 21st Century presents a groundbreaking model for sustainable development, emphasizing self-reliance over dependency. How long should external aid drive community progress? Over time, reliance on outside assistance has fostered dependency, weakened self-reliance, and hindered sustainable growth. This book introduces the People-Led Development Process (PLDP) as a transformative approach, empowering communities to take charge of their development. Rooted in human rights, inclusivity, and collective action, the PLDP shifts the focus from aid dependent interventions to community-driven initiatives, fostering resilience and long-term sustainability. Intended for community development practitioners, social workers, policymakers, and change-makers, this book provides practical strategies for implementing the PLDP framework. It also serves as a guide to building strong, self sustaining communities capable of addressing evolving challenges.While authoring this book, the author engaged in extensive discussions with PLDP-implementing agencies across India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines, as well as with MISEREOR, a German funding agency. He also personally visited 260 villages, interacted with thousands of volunteers and community members, and gained firsthand insights into the impact and effectiveness of the People-Led Development Process.May this work inspire readers to embrace the transformative power of the People-Led Development Process and contribute to a more self-reliant society
