Welcome
About Us

COMMACT - The Common Wealth Network for People-Centred Development

  • is a supportive network of practitioners and promoters of people-centred development

  • enables the sharing of experience among them

  • generates and disseminates information among its members and to the wider public

  • facilitates practical links between projects and organisations involved in people-centred development in both the North and the South;

  • promotes and advocates for policies and practices which give reality to people-centred


VISION

COMMACT envisions people-centred development (PCD) as a process of empowering and enabling poor and marginalised individuals, groups and communities:

  • to expand their personal and collective skills, capacities and resources;
  • to gain voice, dignity and respect;
  • to achieve autonomy in their decision-making capabilities;
  • to participate fully and actively in wider society;
  • to ensure that the development of society as a whole is sustainable and equitable;
  • to increase the control they have over their lives.
