Some Key Terms


                                                                                                 Changes!


                  Although the community might be a family, communitarianism usually is understood, in
                  the wider, philosophical sense, as a collection of interactions, among a community of

                  people in a given place (geographical location), or among a community who share an
                  interest or who share a history. Communitarianism usually opposes extreme

                  individualism and disagrees with extreme laissez-faire policies that neglect the stability
                  of the overall community.

            Community Based Organisation (CBO)        12
                  Community organization or Community Based Organization refers to organizing aimed at

                  making desired improvements to a community's social health, well-being, and overall
                  functioning. Community organization occurs in geographically, psychosocially, culturally,

                  spiritually, and/or digitally bounded communities.

            Community Twinning / Sister Cities     13

                  Sister cities or twin towns are a form of legal or social agreement between towns, cities,
                  counties, oblasts, prefectures, provinces, regions, states, and even countries in

                  geographically and politically distinct areas to promote cultural and commercial ties

                                                                                                  "Sister City."

            Conditionality  14

                  Conditionality is typically employed by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank
                  or a donor country with respect to loans, debt relief and financial aid. Conditionalities

                  may involve relatively uncontroversial requirements to enhance aid effectiveness, such
                  as anti-corruption measures, but they may involve highly controversial ones, such as
                  austerity or the privatization of key public services, which may provoke strong political

                  opposition in the recipient country. These conditionalities are often grouped under the
                  label structural adjustment as they were prominent in the structural adjustment

                  programs following the debt crisis of the 1980s.
