Community 1 and Community 2
![Page 7: Asset-Based and Citizen-Led Development with the Coady International Institute Brianne Peters and Ben Flood January 25, 2014.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec05503460f94bcc202/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) emerged as a result of a growing critique of “problem solving” or “needs-based” approaches
Needs and Assets
![Page 8: Asset-Based and Citizen-Led Development with the Coady International Institute Brianne Peters and Ben Flood January 25, 2014.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec05503460f94bcc202/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ABCD focuses on the half full part of the glass where the strengths, capacities and assets of the community lie.
For too long community workers have only paid attention to the half empty part: people’s needs and problems
Asset- Based Citizen-Led Development (ABCD) as an Approach
![Page 9: Asset-Based and Citizen-Led Development with the Coady International Institute Brianne Peters and Ben Flood January 25, 2014.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec05503460f94bcc202/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Consequences of a “needs-based” or problem-solving approach
Leadership emphasizing community “needs” in order to secure resources
Community members internalizing what their leaders are saying (a deficit mentality)
Funding by categories of needs, andMoney going to the institutions filling the
needsA dependence on external rather than
internal relationships

Needs and assets
Growing recognition of the existence of a multitude of assets in even the poorest communities

First hit on google (Wikipedia) Cité Soleil (Kreyol: Site Solèy, English: Sun City) is an
extremely impoverished and densely populated commune located in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area in Haiti. Cité Soleil originally developed as a shanty town and grew to an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 residents, the majority of whom live in extreme poverty.[1] The area is generally regarded as one of the poorest and most dangerous areas of the Western Hemisphere and it is one of the biggest slums in the Northern Hemisphere. The area has virtually no sewers and has a poorly maintained open canal system that serves as its sewage system, few formal businesses but many local commercial activities and enterprises, sporadic but largely free electricity, a few hospitals, and a single government school, Lycee Nationale de Cite Soleil. For several years until 2007, the area was ruled by a number of gangs, each controlling their own sectors.

in many countries

Every single person has capacities, abilities, gifts
and ideas, and living a good life depends on whether those capacities can be
used, abilities expressed, gifts given and ideas
shared.
