Abstract

This chapter highlights the key elements for stronger rural communities, drawing together the themes and proposals from the preceding chapters and constructing an integrated model. With stronger communities at its core, the model recognises the key role of social enterprises in job creation and community transformation, supported by various actors working together, combining their capabilities and sharing their assets in a synergistic, effective and efficient manner. Set within the community’s political, cultural, socio-economic and environmental context, the model also highlights the importance of community empowerment, equitable development and cross-organisation governance. The chapter also sets out a direction for further research, including on the ground application and testing of the integrated model, and the extension of the approach to other communities in China and beyond.
