Abstract: Abstract This chapter captures the work the Community Development Resource Association (CDRA), in Cape Town, South Africa, has been doing over the past 20 years with a wide variety of people, from rural and urban communities and movements to networks and alliances, local and international NGOs, and donor agencies to government. Reflecting upon seven important questions that guide CDRA’s work, Doug Reeler describes how CDRA designs and facilitates transformative practices and processes of social change. He concludes his article with a challenge to obsessively detailed planning, monitoring, evaluation, and other technical systems to manage and control social change.
