Section: _____________________________________Score: ______________________ COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN Background Information for Learners: Community action is any activity that increases the understanding, engagement and empowerment of communities in the design and delivery of local services. It also includes a broad range of activities and is sometimes described as 'social action' or 'community engagement'.

What they have in common is that they all involve greater engagement of local citizens in the planning, design and delivery of local services.
