'What Community Development Does:

a short guide for decision makers to how it achieves results'

CDAS has published a booklet which:

• explains what community development is

• explains who is likely to be involved and what they do

• shows why policy makers should value community development as a way of achieving results

• gives examples, small and large, from around Scotland of what communities have achieved and the work that went into making this possible.
