Somsook Boonyabancha, former director of CODI (the Community Organizations Development Institute in Thailand) and now an advisor to the CODI board and chairperson of the Baan Mankong Program Committee, reflects on the evolution of CODI, the management of its fund, and the community-driven activities it has supported since 1992. The paper explains how substantial and large-scale changes can be brought about in the lives of the poor by supporting a community-driven process that opens space for negotiation and collaboration with government and other partners on housing and other aspects of community development. It describes the transitions that have had to be managed, as both the community networks and the support institution have navigated various challenges and opportunities. A centrepiece of this co-production is the Baan Mankong Program, which represents a dramatic change in the role of government – from a provider of housing to facilitator of community-driven local housing co-production.

The existence of community organizations such as Muhammadiyah in Yogyakarta, and Nahdathul Ulama in East Java, Nahdhatul Wathon in West Nusa Tenggara has a very significant role in making changes for the progress of the nation. These roles can be seen especially in the fields of education and community development. Meanwhile for the Sulawesi region, especially Central Sulawesi, many of these roles were taken over by the Al-Khairaat Institution or College which was founded by Sayyid Idrus bin Salim Al-Jufri or who is familiarly called Guru Tua. The role of Al-Khairaat is especially in the field of educational development. As the Al-Khairaat Islamic Education Institute is a national struggle institution that seeks to form people who believe and have faith in Allah SWT, this institution bears the burden of moral responsibility and ideas for the life and development of Islamic education, for the benefit and improvement of the quality of the ummah.

Community Development is a process of collective action taken by the members of a community to generate solutions for common problems.  The aspects of community well being namely Economic, Social, Environmental and Cultural well being evolves from this type of collective action taken at multiple societal levels. (Weaver, 1971) defines community development as a process of “A public-group approach dedicated to achieving the goals of the total body politic.” Therefore, it is evident that a community can be developed through the effective participation of citizens. It is universally acceptable that community service is a vehicle for safeguarding the environment that is initiated from the participants of the community. In order to imbibe the community consciousness among the citizens, every country should “Catch them Young”. The purpose of the paper is to integrate Participative Model (Active Citizenship, Citizen Networks and Co-production) with Self-service Model (Social Governance, Societal Discipline and Accountability). National and international reviews show that the perception about the community and realisation has to be ingrained at the grass root level; this can be achieved through the participation of academic institutions.

The study sample of 420 persons comprised 220 community development officers selected from the study area and 200 adult educators randomly selected from Enugu State.
