| Abstract |
Community empowerment is central
to community development and yet making this
concept operational in a programme context
remains elusive. Based on doctoral work, this
paper identifies and interprets nine organisational
‘domains’ for community empowerment.
These organisational domains are not absolutes
rather they serve as a point of departure
for further discussion about straightforward
ways to define and measure community empowerment
as a process. This paper is seen as a step
toward clarifying and making this concept
operational to guide practitioners who wish
to apply and measure community empowerment
in a programme context. The implications for
community development and research are discussed.
