Community Economic Development (CED) Training Guide for Peace Corps Volunteers

摘要

This guide was developed specifically to show Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) why and how community economic development (CED) is used to improve individuals and families economic well-being. As you do the activities in this guide and read the text, you will discover the potential of CED in expanding communities economies and building the capacity of citizens to take responsibility for their own economic future. The guide is based on the experiences of CED groups that first became active in the United States in the 1960s, the efforts of international development organizations, and experiences of Peace Corps Volunteers.
