Things to Remember
  • Sometimes the same activity is named two or more
    things.
  • There is lots of overlap between these types.
  • If you use a label such as community
    development you must define it.
  • Models are not sacred. They are only general
    suggestions about the steps and activities. You
    must adapt them to specific change goals and
    circumstances.
