Community Development Strategies and Digital Models: Experience in 2025

In 2025, the NGO "Center for Community Development Logistics" worked with territorial communities to develop development strategies using digital tools and analytics. Strategic documents were formed together with digital community development models, which allow the strategy to be used not only as a text document, but as a practical management tool.

Work on strategies is carried out using the CLS digital platform, which covers 32 areas of community life and ensures the involvement of residents and local governments in determining development priorities.

In 2025, the resource center team was strengthened, which made it possible to expand the scope of work and reach a larger number of communities. The support of the International Renaissance Foundation within the framework of the Impulse project allowed us to attract additional specialists to our team and ensure systematic work with strategic planning and digital models of community development.

How we work with strategies

The resource center provides communities with:

• digital strategy builder;
• a survey tool for residents and local governments;
• analytics and dashboards based on survey results;
• the possibility of further monitoring the implementation of the strategy.
• training, support and consultations.

This approach allows communities to move from formal strategic documents to living and transparent development management mechanisms that can be updated, analyzed, and used in daily work.

For public organizations

If you are a civil society organization and want to initiate the development of a development strategy for your community, you can contact our resource center. We provide training on how to use the tools, provide access to the CLS platform, and support the entire process — from data collection and citizen engagement to the formation of a strategic document and a digital community development model.

Thanks to partners and communities

We would like to express our special thanks to our partners, village and city councils, as well as communities who entrusted us with the work on strategic development. Your readiness for change, openness to working with data, and the implementation of more transparent governance mechanisms are the basis for real transformation of communities and sustainable development of territories.
