Community Catalyst

Community Catalyst is a tool that has been developed to help you assess the development of your community and/or develop your community.

The Community Catalyst tool is based on:
  • Experiences of developing CoPs at USAID and other Federal agencies
  • Best practices and industry standards on community development


The Community Catalyst tool is organized by "Workstream" and "Implementation Phase." Click on the intersection of the "Workstream" and "Implementation Phase" you're interested in learning more about.
