Community development is often shaped by purely economic and political considerations, but it can also function as a process of education that expresses the perceptions of people and enhances their control of their society.

Drawing on his experiences of economic models of development in Africa and Canada, Hayden Roberts design a practice theory of development that emerges from, and responds to, the needs of the community itself. His analysis emphasizes the political nature of the process and the central role of adult education in achieving the goals of a given community. His theory, in brief, is that affected people are more capable than outsider of perceiving and assessing the conditions of their lives, and that, with appropriate inspiration and guidance they can plan and act to change these conditions for the better.
