Local Development is a concept and an approach that has been around for some time now. In light of the various challenges our society is facing today, more than ever, our communities become the center stage for decisive action and change.
This introductory course on Local Development will allow you to have a general understanding of the particularities of the development practitioners’ job considering the complex environment of local communities.
