Introduction to Community Development Quotes

“the motto of community development in the 1960s could have been this: “Give people a fish and they’ll eat for a day.” The 1970s motto could have been: “Teach people to fish and they’ll eat for a lifetime.” The 1990s (and beyond) approach to development needs to ask the question: “Who owns the pond?” (p. 119)”
