Abstract

This chapter discusses the critical role of government and other external players in sustainable community development. It is the thesis of this volume that ultimately economic prosperity, social justice and welfare, and environmental stewardship are depended on the quality of political governance of the day. Target communities (the electorate) should be able to hold their government accountable at all times on all things that affect their development. A formula for guaranteed social change is discussed and domesticated for communities to use in their endeavour for self liberation from the dominant paradigm. By way of conclusion, change is inevitable when the target community mobilizes itself along a shared vision and a clear transition plan, which calls for the practice of people-centred leadership.
