Community Empowerment is about people and government, working together to
make life better. It involves more people being able to influence decisions about their
communities, and more people taking responsibility for tackling local problems, rather
than expecting others to. The idea is that government can't solve everything by itself,
and nor can the community: it's better when we work together.
There are three key ingredients to community empowerment:
1. Active citizens: people with the motivation, skills and confidence to speak up for
their communities and say what improvements are needed.
2. Strengthened communities: community groups with the capability and
resources to bring people together to work out shared solutions.
3. Partnership with public bodies: public bodies willing and able to work as
partners with local people.
