What does CBF mean in COMMUNITY

The Community Build Framework (CBF) is a framework developed to facilitate communication and collaboration in communities that are working together on shared goals. It encourages community members to work together to achieve their desired outcomes, and provides a platform for them to coordinate their efforts.

The CBF helps an organization by providing it with a platform from which it can build meaningful relationships with its community members. It also enables the organization to better understand its stakeholders' needs, develop strategies for achieving collective goals, and measure progress towards those goals.

Organizations of any size or sector can use the CBF as long as they have shared community-based goals that require collaboration among different stakeholders. Non-profit organizations, small businesses, local governments, corporate entities, and more can all benefit from using this framework.

Strategies such as expansion or improvement of services or programs, capacity building initiatives, organizational development plans, project evaluation plans, governance models, stakeholder engagement plans, resource mobilization plans and monitoring & evaluation plans can all be developed using this framework.

Implementation of the CBF typically involves creating task forces of representatives from all relevant stakeholder groups; conducting assessments of existing practices; developing strategic plans; formalizing commitments amongst participants; setting up advisory boards; constructing a timeline for implementation; monitoring & evaluating progress against objectives; and sharing best practices across participants.
