Summary
Effective community development means that many different stakeholders have to work together: governments, development organizations and NGOs, and most importantly, the people they serve. 'Knowledge partnering for community development' teaches community development professionals how to mediate community needs and development agendas to make community-based solutions for development challenges.

Each chapter features global case studies of innovative community-state partnerships, and practical application exercises and strategies for professionals looking to bring new approaches to their research. 'Knowledge partnering for community development' is essential for community workers and students of community development looking to bridge the gap between research insight and best practice between community actors.
