Assets-Based Community Development

Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) is a strategy focused on identifying and leveraging the strengths and resources within a community, rather than solely addressing its needs or problems. This approach encourages local residents to recognize their own skills, relationships, and community assets, fostering collaboration and empowerment. By building on these strengths, communities can create sustainable growth and address challenges more effectively. ABCD promotes an inclusive environment where everyone’s contributions are valued, leading to a more resilient and engaged community.
