Asset-Based Community Development

Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) is an approach to sustainable community-driven change. It insists that building and strengthening communities requires utilizing the current and potential assets of that community, rather than focusing on the needs and deficits. ABCD challenges traditional thought that assumes communities need to be fixed by outsiders. Instead, the approach considers local assets to be the primary building blocks for developing strong, sustainable communities. Residents often have the abilities and power to drive change themselves.

Decision-Making in CEDP

Consent Decision Making descriptive image from Sociocracy 3.0

CEDP is governed by a decentralized system. After much discussion, the CEDP partners collectively decided to implement a consent decision-making process for all-partner decisions. This process allows for all partners to feel heard, be respected, and have their contributions considered.
