A community may itself be actively developed and managed in order to promote communal activity and welfare.

In some cases, the task of managing a physical resource may be delegated to a specialist professional called a community manager.<ref>{{citation |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r_oMpWbiaX0C&pg=PA1 |title=Community Associations: A Guide to Successful Management |author=Stephen R.

[[Malawi]] is an example of the utilization of community management to provide water access to citizens. Malawi is a poor area that with recent governmental pushes for decentralization has led to water management becoming a community responsibility.<ref name=":2" /> Within Malawi [[borehole]]s are used to access water and each of these [[borehole]]s is under the control of a committee which delegates a manager for each borehole.<ref name=":2" /> These managers receive initial training from an official district water officer but are then left to make their own decisions regarding the upkeep of the borehole. This training has been found to be ineffective in many cases so the work of area mechanics, who are more knowledgeable about these boreholes, are often utilized to perform repairs. However, these area mechanics are not accessible everywhere and require additional payments. Payment is also something that is irregularly collected which has created a lack of funds for repairs.<ref name=":2" />
