Community development is a process where people come together to take action on what's important to them. It is the process of solving the environmental, economic, social, political, and public health problems of a community. It is achieved by teamwork in a multi-sectoral approach that enhances the cohesiveness, self-motivation, vitality, and viability of a community. 

It is rooted in the belief that all people should have access to good health, wellbeing, wealth, justice and opportunity. It recognizes that some people, some groups and some communities are excluded and oppressed by the way society and structures are organized. Community development seeks to challenge this and ensure fairness for all citizens.
