Citizen Engagement and Community Development Community empowerment in local governance has become a key component of government policy across the globe. Essentially, public services must primarily focus on the needs of citizens. Citizens should be engaged and involved in the development of services - the services which must be efficient, effective and innovative in their design and implementation. Governments are also realising that they need to involve their citizens in the planning and delivery of local solutions to local problems.
RIPA International’s highly practical and networkfocused programmes and workshops will support your community empowerment initiatives, with front-line experts analysing community development initiatives and advising on what is required to build effective local services.
