When is not appropriate to use community development?

No problem :)

Got it, thank you.

If the outcomes you want to achieve, and activities that you will use, are already decided then there is no space for the community to determine outcomes and activities; if you have limited time and short-term funding, community development is a long-term process. Engagement and planning can take a year or more, and it can take several years to build the capacity of community members to lead a project and ensure sustainable results. What’s more, if your focus is improving specific individual skills, a program that targets these directly may be more appropriate.
