Citizen Engagement and Community Development

Community empowerment in local governance has become a key component of government policy across the globe. Governments are realising that they need to involve their citizens in the planning and delivery of local solutions to local problems.

RIPA International’s highly practical and network-focused programmes will support your community empowerment initiatives, with front-line experts analysing community development initiatives and advising on what is required to build effective local services.

Representatives of national agencies for citizen engagement, local authorities, law enforcement bodies and organisations seeking to develop and improve civic participation and community empowerment within their own municipality or region will gain insights into the contemporary initiatives that have worked here in the UK.
