Best Practice Guide
This guide is a practical set of steps and actions intended to support a nature-based project to engage with their target community (either a geographic community or a community of interest) to work collaboratively to design a community benefit agreement. Good practice in community benefit does not start with a ‘project’ or key lines of enquiry already defined and planned. Rather it involves a community engagement process that can shape the project and key criteria for success.
