The concept of Community Based Democracy unveiled in this book introduces a community development approach to national development. Each community has first-hand access to revenue to take care of the infrastructural needs of their immediate community. It presents a multi-level bottom-up democratic structure that is based on a micro-neighborhood governmental unit. It is a non-partisan, but representative democratic system that provides opportunities for face-to-face political interaction among the grassroots within a micro geographical location. This democratic system emphasizes local involvement and decision-making, fostering a governance model where citizens actively participate in shaping policies that affect their lives. This approach not only enhances democratic engagement but also cultivates a sense of ownership and accountability among community members.
