why community engagement is important Luis F. Aleman
In today’s world, community engagement is becoming increasingly popular. Constructive relationships between the government and communities make community engagement a pivotal and desirable process for the wellfunctioning of today’s democracies.
Goods and Services One of the benefits of having a solid community engagement is that it leads to equitability and improvement of local communities’ effective delivery of services.
Social Capital Community engagement is crucial because it is majorly part of a conversation where communities make decisions to create social capital.
Shared Knowledge Community engagement can result in better outcomes when government entities and public decision-making bodies come together to seek the community’s aspirations and values.
Pride and Empowerment Building long term partnerships between the communities and the government also results in a greater sense of ownership and better uptake of tailor-made services for the community’s aspirations.
Trust Through community engagement, governments can improve on their legitimacy and efficiency..
