What is community engagement?

Community engagement is the process of building relationships and partnerships with individuals, organizations, and communities to address issues and create positive change. It involves actively involving community members in decision-making processes, seeking their input and feedback, and working collaboratively to identify and implement solutions to common challenges. Community engagement can take many forms, including community meetings, forums, surveys, focus groups, and other activities that promote dialogue, participation, and collaboration. Ultimately, community engagement aims to empower individuals and communities to take ownership of their own development and improve the quality of life for all members.
