Community-Based Inclusive Development
Description
This edited book responds to the theoretical vacuum on Community Based Inclusive Development (CBID) and accommodates the learning needs of students, researchers and practitioners looking to understand the conceptual underpinnings and practice dimensions of CBID, while developing new theoretical ground on CBID. Bringing together established and emerging scholars and practitioners, this edited volume seeks to:
· Offer a theoretical, critical and interdisciplinary introduction for students, academics and practitioners working in CBID in the Global South.
· Build new theory and knowledge that can inform research and practice.
· Explore in-depth a range of issues through a critical lens and connect these with CBID.
· Contribute evidence-based material for CBID programming and advocacy and inform the work of mainstream community development practitioners.
