Community-led development – a framework tested in Tamaki |
|
Those of us involved with Inspiring Communities have thought a lot about what is distinctive about community-led development. As a result of this thinking, and our discussions, we have developed some principles and a framework to test.
The framework we are working with can be seen below, and is followed by an illustration depicting it. The diagram was created by Alfred Ngaro, with Tamaki’s Ora’anga Kopapa Matutu, and some other initiatives, in mind. Many of these principles are reflected in local examples in this newsletter. We explore them a little further in our article about the Ora’anga Kopapa Matutu initiative. We welcome your feedback – comments or questions about the framework or anything to do with can be emailed to us at

Testing the CLD Framework |
Reflective Questions linked to CLD Framework
The intention of the questions aligned here with each of the elements of the CLD framework, is to help practitioners / actors focus their reflective thinking around the work they are doing (and their approach to it) and community-led development. It provides a way to surface learnings, think about implications and how to use and share information.
