Description

To define the concept of community development effectively may require that the concept of development is equally defined. This is because the concept of development is rather problematic to define. Nevertheless the concept of development is best understood from two broad perspectives. One view is to see development as an end state – indeed a desirable goal to be attained. The implication of this perspective is that development becomes a package that has top be delivered in full for one to acknowledge that development has taken place For instance, if the desired end is a life where the needs of all members of a society are met, then this view would hold that unless all needs are met (and that means literally all needs without exception) then development has not taken place.
