Community led development (CLD) underpins how the Community Team operates but what is community led development?
CLD strengthens the vitality of communities by activating and weaving the contribution of everyone connected to a place/whenua. It is a way of thinking that's underpinned by five principles. Inspiring Communities has crafted these principles from working with communities:
- Grow from shared local visions
- Build from strengths
- Work with diverse people and sectors
- Grow collaborative local leadership
- Learn by doing
