Best Practices Toolkit for Community Engagement
The Asian Foundation, www.asianfoundation.org
This Best Practices Toolkit for Community Engagement provides guidelines and suggestions for individuals, foundations, and businesses to develop or refine their own community engagement strategies. In-depth explanations are coupled with worksheets and sample models to provide the most robust and complete picture possible. You can use many or a few of these criteria in your own strategy, depending on your individual circumstances and resources. Some of the worksheets provided can also be used by non-governmental organizations as references to develop their programs and proposals.
