This community handbook is one in a series of ACHR Handbooks for Housing By People, to be published in 2011. We are making an effort to compile the accumulated knowledge and experiences of our friends in the ACHR coalition. These publications will collate case studies of CODI and ACCA projects in Asia and the Pacific, in order to make a series of simple handbooks for community members and relevant agencies, and those who see the possible path of community development.
