If you're searching for a grounded, practical framework for sustainable development, this paperback by Nazar Al Baharna offers a thought-provoking read. Drawing on decades of thinking around community-led change, it presents the Community Development Enterprise (CDE) model — a rights-based approach that puts people at the centre of development. A meaningful gift for students, policy thinkers, environmentalists, and anyone engaged with the future of our communities.
