Community development is the process of working together to improve the quality of life and well-being of a specific community.

This can include a wide range of activities such as improving access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, as well as promoting social cohesion and civic engagement.

Community development is often driven by the members of the community themselves, as they are the ones who have the best understanding of their own needs and aspirations.
