Community 1 and Community 2
![Page 5: The Coady International Institute St Francis Xavier University Established in1959 Emerged out of the Antigonish Movement in the 1930’s](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649f155503460f94c2a719/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) emerged as a result of a growing critique of “problem solving” or “needs-based” approaches
Needs and Assets
![Page 6: The Coady International Institute St Francis Xavier University Established in1959 Emerged out of the Antigonish Movement in the 1930’s](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649f155503460f94c2a719/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ABCD focuses on the half full part of the glass where the strengths, capacities and assets of the community lie.
For too long community workers have only paid attention to the half empty part: people’s needs and problems
Asset-Based Citizen-Led Development (ABCD) as an Approach

What are the consequences of focusing only on needs and
problems in community development?
![Page 9: The Coady International Institute St Francis Xavier University Established in1959 Emerged out of the Antigonish Movement in the 1930’s](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649f155503460f94c2a719/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Unintended consequences of a needs-based or problem-solving approach
Leadership emphasizing community needs in order to secure resources
Community members internalizing what their leaders are saying (a deficit mentality)
Funding by categories of needs, andMoney going to the institutions filling the
needsA dependence on external rather than
internal relationships

Needs and assets
Growing recognition of the existence of a multitude of assets in even the poorest communities

“Nobody has Nothing”
![Page 18: The Coady International Institute St Francis Xavier University Established in1959 Emerged out of the Antigonish Movement in the 1930’s](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649f155503460f94c2a719/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nobody Has Nothing
The groups represented in the following scenarios are marginalised and harassed: often labelled ‘the poorest of the poor’
Similar groups exist
in many countries
For each scenario – identify livelihood opportunities you think these groups could undertake building on what they have

Scenario 1: Street Kids in Khartoum
Organised in gangs Ruthlessly harassed: tough and
determined Energetic, strong, young Know the city, in spite of no maps or
street names or numbers Keen to learn

What these street kids did:
They organized into a tour guide association.

Passionate about motor-bikes Own and cherish fast machines Deal in drugs and stolen goods to ‘feed’

cameraderie
