Community-based Economic Development (CED) is a way that people in communities work together to improve their lives and to take control of their futures. These two volumes were designed as a self-help guide for women. They cover inter-related topics which include skills for personal growth, group development, and community involvement.

"This book, in two volumes, has helped to organize a new literacy society in our community. With easy-to-follow instructions for conducting meetings and focus group sessions, chairing a meeting, recording meeting minutes, and keeping proper financial records, it has proven a priceless resource! Best of all is the clear, plain language, and literacy-friendly format."
