What is the course

What is the Inclusive Community Development Strategies programme?

A practical programme that helps teams plan community work with, not for, the people it is meant to benefit.

The Inclusive Community Development Strategies programme helps teams understand community context, map who is involved and who is missing, and listen before they design. Participants learn participatory methods, respectful consultation drawing on traditions such as musyawarah and gotong royong, and ways to plan programmes that continue to benefit communities after funding ends.

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is ideal for many organisations, but may not be the best fit for every situation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Run CSR, community or social impact programmes
  • Need programmes that reach and involve marginalised groups
  • Want a private, tailored training experience
  • Need relevant, Indonesia-based training delivery
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment course
  • You need full programme design or funding proposal support
  • You need technical training in infrastructure, health or agriculture
  • You are primarily looking for consultancy rather than training

Mismatched expectationsCommunities and organisations hope for different outcomes.
Weak partnershipsLocal leaders, NGOs and government are not aligned.
