Asset-based community development (ABCD) is a grassroots approach to community building that focuses on identifying and leveraging local strengths and resources rather than deficits.
It emphasizes the inherent capacities, skills, and assets within a community, including its people, organizations, and natural features.
ABCD encourages residents to take an active role in shaping their community's future by collaborating, sharing knowledge, and mobilizing resources to address challenges and pursue opportunities.
