About Us
CommDev houses a selective group of public documents, tools, case studies, training opportunities, presentations and resources produced by IFC, partners and other organizations to guide companies in delivering shared value and enhancing benefits to local communities.
This website is a well established repository for information on community issues related to the extractive industry, agribusiness, forestry and infrastructure sectors. It seeks to draw from the experience of IFC clients, partner institutions and industry alliances to present a selected set of knowledge and tools exemplifying best practices and guidelines for practitioners in these industries in private sector as it engages with communities around the world. Our goal is to “raise the bar” on how community development is implemented and establish a sustainable, technically-grounded foundation for long-term socio-economic development in communities impacted by different industries.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our donor Norway and other partners, namely Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and Switzerland for contributing to the development of this website.
