About IACD

Community development is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline concerned with the organisation, education and empowerment of people within their communities and the International Association for Community Development (IACD) is the only global multi-disciplinary network for those who work in this field.

We are accredited with the U.N. and have members across the world. If you are a development agency manager, funder, fieldwork practitioner, academic, student or volunteer community activist and would like to connect with other community developers around the world, this is the network for you. Please take a look around the website. And if you are not already a member, do join us by clicking the “Join us today!” button above.  Read on to discover how you can participate in our IACD Member conversations hosted by IACD Trustees in Oceania — register by clicking the links below the calendar.
