Indaba (community meeting)

An Indaba is a community gathering where members come together to discuss important issues, share ideas, and make collective decisions. Originating from Southern Africa, the term symbolizes a respectful and inclusive forum for dialogue, collaboration, and problem-solving. Indabas promote open communication, strengthen community bonds, and ensure everyone's voice is heard, often focusing on local concerns, development projects, or conflict resolution. They serve as a platform for consensus-building and fostering mutual understanding within a community, emphasizing participation, transparency, and shared responsibility.
