The concept of Community-Based Democracy unveiled in this book introduces a community development approach to national development. It provides a democratic system, where each community has first-hand access to revenue to take care of the infrastructural needs of their immediate environment.

It presents a multi-level bottom-up democratic structure that is based on a micro neighborhood governmental unit. A non-partisan, but representative democratic system that provides opportunities for face-to-face political interactions among the grassroots within a micro-geographic location

This democratic system emphasizes local involvement in 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.
