Groups often develop in a community around a specific purpose, such as savings and credit groups, livestock groups or grain bank groups.

This tool will help these groups to think about broadening what they do - for example, by addressing different causes of poverty or by bringing about local social change.

It includes guidance for facilitators working with communities to start community groups, or helping existing groups to improve.
