The fast evolution in communications means that companies' environmental, and social performance are greatly scrutinized by the widening stakeholder audience, thus, understanding the boundaries of private sector corporate responsibility is evolving at a rapid pace. As a result, new innovative models of assurance, accountability, and partnership are emerging, which will seemingly - and hopefully - lay the foundation for sound business performance. In response, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) has prepared this Community Development Resource Guide, which builds on concrete examples of corporations, and projects where complex environmental, and social impacts have been dealt with innovatively, and successfully. Key principles for community development programs, define the framework of this document, i.e., the need to engage in effective community consultation, to form the basis for building trust, and further manage expectations, by defining roles, and responsibilities, developing appropriate capacities, and mobilizing core competencies to set measurable goals, and monitor business best practices.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOCASE STUDIESCENSUS DATACIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY CAPACITYCOMMUNITY CONSULTATIONCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY GROUPSCOMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTCOMMUNITY ISSUESCOMMUNITY LEADERSCOMMUNITY MEMBERSCOMMUNITY RECORDSCOMMUNITY RELATIONSCONFLICTCONSULTATIONCONSULTATIVE MANNERCORPORATE CITIZENSHIPCORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYDECISION-MAKING PROCESSESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPMENT COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT PRACTITIONERSDEVELOPMENT PROCESSDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMSDEVELOPMENT WORKECONOMIC GROWTHFAMILIESFORESTSFUNDING MECHANISMSHUMAN RESOURCESIMPACT ASSESSMENTINDIGENOUS COMMUNITIESINDIGENOUS GROUPSINDIGENOUS PEOPLEINDIGENOUS PEOPLESINVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENTLEADERSHIPLESSONS LEARNEDLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL DEVELOPMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL INSTITUTIONSLOCAL ORGANIZATIONSLOCAL PEOPLEMULTILATERAL ORGANIZATIONSNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATURAL RESOURCESNEIGHBORING COMMUNITIESPARTICIPATORY METHODSPOLICY MAKERSPOOR COMMUNITYPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR COMPANIESPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPROJECT APPRAISALREDUCING POVERTYREPUTATIONRESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRURAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL ASSESSMENTSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL MAPSOCIAL PERFORMANCESOCIETYSTAKEHOLDER ANALYSISSUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTRAINING PROGRAMSTRANSPARENCYVULNERABLE GROUPSWATER SUPPLYWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-4891-4
