Communities worldwide act on their own initiative, drawing on their own resources of leadership and solidarity, and in spite of poverty, to achieve their own goals. Development practitioners have too often viewed poor communities as helpless and disadvantaged, and have encouraged their dependency. Yet if instead communities are recognized as having social and cultural as well as material assets, and these are what help them to overcome obstacles, then their capacity to negotiate external assistance on their own terms can be strengthened. From the Moroccan villages that secured irrigation infrastructure with the help of returning migrants, to the Egyptian youth leaders who wanted a soccer pitch for their village, and the indigenous women's cooperative in Ecuador that now exports medicinal plants, this book describes case studies of communities that first built on their own assets, before seeking assistance from outside. What are the common factors that help all these communities mobilize? Do outside organizations have a role to play when communities take charge of their own development? From Clients to Citizens is aimed at community workers, researchers and policy makers who want to take a fresh look at community development.

Conflict, Improvisation, Governance presents a carefully crafted and edited collection of first hand accounts of diverse public sector and non-profit urban practitioners facing the practical challenges of "doing democracy" in the global/local context of the interconnected major European city of Amsterdam and its region. The book examines street level democratic processes through the experiences of planning and city governance practitioners in community development, youth work, public service delivery, urban public administration, immigration and multi-cultural social policy. These profiles and case studies show widely shared challenges in global and local urban environments, and new, "bottom-up," democratic and improvisational strategies that community members and public officials alike can use to make more inclusive, democratic cities.

This document aims to provide guidance to policymakers and development practitioners on how to shape public action to get better quality services for all in Latin America. Latin American countries have seen significant progress in the last 20 years in the coverage of social and infrastructure services. However, coverage gaps and poor quality of services remain a serious problem for many citizens, particularly the poor. While technical difficulties may still be a constraint for some sophisticated services, they are clearly not a difficulty for the most essential ones. Understanding questions of access and quality of services is about the behaviors of people, from teachers, to administrators, politicians, and rich and poor citizens. The main concern is whether those responsible for designing and delivering services are accountable to the citizens who are demanding the services and also paying the taxes and fees that finance these services.

What happens to the field of community development when its practitioners - community members, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), governments - start with the assumption that communities have strengths rather than deficiencies, assets rather than needs, possibilities rather than problems? This forum, From Clients to Citizens: Deepening the Practice of Asset-Based and Citizen-Led Development, brought together people who are attempting to work with communities on that basis. It gave them the opportunity to share experiences, challenge each other, express doubt, unpack words that have been burdened with over use, think through the implications of working differently, and renew their commitment to social change through local community action and broadbased structural and institutional reform. As such, conversation shifted from the particulars of local leadership and community organizing to fundamental questions of rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The conversation sometimes touched on values instilled through different cultures that inspire mutual self help, and sometimes touched on structural changes needed in our institutions to make such mutual self help operate on local, national and international levels. It sometimes looked at how people in communities could participate in the global economy more on their own terms, and sometimes touched on ways that communities could make themselves less vulnerable to market failure and strengthen alternative means of livelihood in the local economy. In short, as well as celebrating success and possibility, forum participants explored the thorny issues emerging with the growing interest in asset-based and citizen-led development around the world.
