Community-Led Spectrum Tool – Tamarack Institute
“Community-Led approaches are those that are led not by an organization or other outsiders but by a collective, community process. It has become an essential way of working to combat power imbalances that exist between traditional ‘authorities’ and the communities who are facing inequities.
This tool is designed for leadership teams to distinguish between Community-Led approaches and to develop a more discerning understanding of various engagement strategies and their effectiveness in cultivating community leadership. These discussions are most effective when community representatives are involved to develop a shared intention, understanding of roles, and commitments.”
