Why is it important?
The unquestioned assumption of the primacy of projects and their management in the delivery of social good ignores the potential for oppression and exploitation within them. We argue that project management is an unsuitable approach to those community based activities that seek to liberate communities from oppression. We propose an incorporation of critical, participative and democratic processes to the organizing of community based activities that align with their social purpose and intent.
