Methods and Techniques for Community Engagement Dr. John Persico
Some ideas to help foster community engagement in the City of Minneapolis. My partner and I had a contract for two years to help the CIty implement a Community Engagement Process. We developed, tested and deployed a model for CE and also designed some training to support the role out of the model.
Evaluating community projects
These guidelines were initially developed as part of the JRF Neighbourhood Programme. This programme is made up of 20 community or voluntary organisations all wanting to exercise a more strategic influence in their neighbourhood. The guidelines were originally written to help these organisations evaluate their work. They provide step-by-step advice on how to evaluate a community project which will be of interest to a wider audience.
What is evaluation?
Put simply, evaluation by members of a project or organisation will help people to learn from their day-to-day work. It can be used by a group of people, or by individuals working alone. It assesses the effectiveness of a piece of work, a project or a programme. It can also highlight whether your project is moving steadily and successfully towards achieving what it set out to do, or whether it is moving in a different direction. You can then celebrate and build on successes as well as learn from what has not worked so well.
Why evaluate?
Although evaluation may seem like an unnecessary additional task if you are already short of time and resources, it can save you both time and resources by keeping participants focused on, and working towards, the ultimate goal of the project. If necessary, it can refocus activity away from unproductive or unnecessary work.

What is a Community?
Dimensions of Community
Place

stages of the community
development process.

as jobs, income, buildings, and
city parks

including use of resources and the

4. 4
What is Community Development?
Distinguishing Characteristics
• Focuses on the whole community.
• Emphasizes public participation as self-help.
• Uses participatory democracy as a model for
decision making.
• Uses a holistic approach.
• Often initiates the process using a paid
professional from outside.
Citizen participation , both
in purpose and function,
distinguishes community
development from other
types of interventions.
Unless people buy in to
self-help and the decision-
making process is open to
all stakeholders, the
process should not be
designated as community
development.
A comprehensive process to manage change that involves
citizens creating a shared vision for the future
5. 5
Why Practice Community
Development?
It doesn’t matter
where the community
is on the spectrum of
success. What
matters is how
engaged citizens are
in the decision-making
process.
Can sustain community success
despite minimal problems.
Addresses a critical need, such as
safety.
Can begin the healing of a divided
community.
Decreases feeling of hopelessness
after years of neglectful community
building.
Allows people to participate in a civic
dialogue.
Gives voice to ordinary citizens.
Creates a common vision for the
community.
Improves crisis response.

Essence of Community Development
Wilma Mankiller, former chief of the Cherokee Nation
I think a healthy community is one where people are not just out for
themselves, and they are not just working on their individual pursuits,
but where they understand their relationship and responsibility to other
people.
