Community Development Using Spiritually Based Indicators in The South African Baha’i Community |
 | | Rural or urban Baha’i communities in South Africa, as elsewhere in Africa and the world, have been participating in local elections, for the membership of these Assemblies, that are devoid of all campaigning and electioneering for decades prior to the end of Apartheid. |
| | Additionally since all development must have local grass root support in all phases including the initial determination of need and the planning phase, the first priority is development of capacity at the local level. |
| | The old method of development planning prescribed that we should adopt a policy based on interests of the dominant sector and then to develop measurement indicators to assess the progress of the development effort. |
