To be effective, solutions must be rooted in local knowledge and led by<br /> community members. CED promotes global approaches, addressing individual,<br /> community and regional levels, recognizing that these levels are interconnected.<br /> CED has emerged as an alternative to conventional approaches to economic<br /> development. It is founded on the belief that problems facing communities -<br /> unemployment, poverty, job loss, environmental degradation and loss of community<br /> control - need to be addressed in a global and participatory way.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Essential characteristics of CED Corporations:<br /> <br /> * Strong knowledge of the community;<br /> * Integrated and global approach;<br /> * Democratic and participatory governance involving a variety of stakeholders, partners and the population;<br /> * Activities and services adapted to the needs and the capacity of people and organizations;<br /> * Social innovation;<br /> * Community partnerships, mobilization, empowerment and accountability;<br /> * Local management of public funds.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> http://www.lescdec.qc.ca/data/downloads/Fev_07_socialeconomy.pdf</div>
