A Charter for Rural Communities - The Final Report of the Carnegie Commission for Rural Community Development
Carnegie UK Trust
This resource explores the role enterprising rural communities can play when supported
by public, private and third sectors. The contribution of local communities to rural
development has been under recognised for far too long. This report identifies essential
ingredients of a thriving rural community of the future, which are: 1) Community
ownership and management of local assets, 2) Stronger local governance and effective
community action planning, and 3) Strong social networks founded on high levels of
volunteering and skilled support. Within this report, ten characteristics are identified to
aid in the sustainability of rural communities of the future. Realistically, no one
community is likely to display all these characteristics – but this report turned up many
excellent examples of rural communities already displaying inspiring survival technique
An Asset-Based Approach to Community Development: A Manual for Village OrganizerCoady International Institute
In this manual, an asset-based approach to mobilizing, organizing, and planning village
development is outlined. It is designed to help village organizers recognize the assets
that villagers have, however modest. Village organizers can then help villagers to see
how these assets can be mobilized to secure what they need, whether this is access to
information, technical advice, or basic infrastructure. Project funds can only be effective
if they are channelled through well organized and well motivated groups, and groups
tend to be well motivated when they have confidence in their own capacitie
