COMMUNITY WORK - WOKABI MWANGI KARTONIERT (TB)

The current obsession with globalization issues has tended to ignore pertinent issues at the
local level. It is the recognition of this that we have thought of coming up with a reader on
community organization and action. The aim of the author in writing this reader is to provide a
meaningful theoretical framework for community analysis and demonstrate its practical
application to community development. At its core  community development produces assets that
increase the capacity of residents to improve their quality of life. Assets include physical
capital  human capital  social capital  financial capital and environmental capital. The reader
is structured around how communities can build on these assets. We limit our discussion in the
course to communities of place rather than to communities of interest. Although much of our
focus is on community development efforts in Kenya  many of the principles and concepts should
apply to other settings as well.
