What do we mean by
Community Development?
“Community development is the process of increasing the strength and effectiveness of communities, improving peoples’ quality of life, and enabling people to participate in decision making to achieve
greater long-term control over their lives.”
International Council on Mining & Metals, Community Development Toolkit, 2005
“Sustainable community
development programs are those that contribute to the long-term strengthening of community
viability.”
International Council on Mining & Metals, Community Development Toolkit, 2005
“Mining and mineral processing activities can play a central role in
sustainable community development by acting as a catalyst for positive
economic and social change in areas that may otherwise have
limited opportunities for economic and social development.”
International Council on Mining & Metals, Community Development Toolkit, 2005
