I’ve learned about the importance of exploring internal resources in community development. However, I am curious about what specific damages will be caused if the community depends too much on external services from the government or institutions?

You are always welcome.

I know it now. Thank you very much for your reply.

A problematic and needy community is an empty community in which the residents are passive, powerless, and dependent on external assistance. On this basis, the community can hardly get sustainable development by exploring its resources and potentials since it’s hard for external assistance to give feedback on the internal needs of all residents.
