| CLD | National Information | Survey of Management Information Systems in Community Learning and Development (CLD) | This survey was developed to gauge the current level and nature of the systematic collection and use of data in the community learning and development sector.

- The voluntary youth work sector;
- The voluntary community capacity building (CCB) sector.
This paper sets out an overall summary of the results from these four strands. | Scottish Government | 2006 |
