Take home/workplace messages • DELE experience very positive and inspirational • Community development is procedural but there is not set “recipe” Actions Reflections • Work with (not for) the community and “Responding to the response” (Every answer is a information) • Management of different perceptions in community is hard • The existing capacity of people and their community need to be recognised (Always do Resource analysis) • Participation from the community is the key as opposed to the service delivery efforts. 17
