We share project management best practices for development programmes in the developing and developed world.

CommDev shares best practices that are designed and developed locally as a way to share knowledge for others to benefit.

The articles, manuals, reports, presentations and documentaries on this site are produced to share knowledge and leverage success – give community development practitioners and community leaders an opportunity to learn from each others experience. The hope is to make this a source of motivation and inspiration for community change!
