Abstract
International audienceThe purpose of this article is to show how a community of persons can shed light on managing diversity, particularly with respect to integrating an immigrant workforce into organizations. Methodologically, we use a pragmatic constructivist epistemology that enables us to build generic knowledge. Combining three types of information (interviews, autopraxeogra-phy, and secondary data) makes it possible to demonstrate that person management practices that foster openness to others—through tutoring, coaching, mentoring, " companionship, " and activities linked to social committees for immigrants—enables organizations to obtain an inclusive environment. Additionally, immigrant involvement encourages intercultural sharing. It is easier to integrate immigrants into an organization when employers acknowledge that an immigrant is a person, an individuality, a " me " as well as an " us " because they share ideas and common goals that belong to the community (i.e., the organization). In this way, a community of persons becomes a community of shared ideas, values , and interests. Knowledge—such as know-how, soft skills, and the ability to change—is strengthened.
Le but de cet article est de montrer comment la notion de communauté de personnes peut permettre d'éclairer la gestion de la diversité, notamment en ce qui a trait à l'intégration de la main-d'oeuvre issue de l'immigration dans les organisations. Au niveau méthodologique, nous nous situons dans une épistémologie constructiviste pragmatique qui permet de con-struire des savoirs génériques. La fertilisation croisée de trois types d'informations (entre-vues, autopraxéographie et données secondaires) a permis de montrer que des pratiques de gestion des personnes qui favorisent l'ouverture à l'autre par la mise en oeuvre d'actions de tutorat, de coaching, de parrainage, de compagnonnage et d'activités liées à des comités sociaux à l'égard des immigrants permettent aux organisations d'obtenir un environnement inclusif. En retour, l'implication des personnes immigrantes favorise le partage interculturel. La prise de conscience des employeurs que l'immigrant est une personne, une individualité, un « je », mais aussi un « nous » puisqu'il partage des idées, des buts communs appartenant à la communauté (organisation) permet une meilleure intégration au sein de celle-ci. Ainsi, la communauté de personnes devient une communauté de partage des idées, des valeurs et des intérêts. Les savoirs, tels le savoir-faire, le savoir-être et le savoir-devenir, s'en trouvent bonifiés.

Decentralization and Local Democracy
 in the World : First Global Report by United Cities and
 Local Governments 2008World Bank; United Cities and Local Government (Washington, DC: United Cities and Local Government and the World Bank, 2009)This overall picture of decentralization
 and local democracy in African countries shows significant
 progress at the strictly institutional level. No country now
 publicly opposes the implementation of decentralization
 policies. Local governments exist in all countries, and
 elections are held to elect local authorities. The extent of
 such progress must, however, be set against a number of
 persistent obstacles that continue to hinder a real
 progression of decentralization in Africa. Difficulties
 remain within states concerning the transfer of financial
 resources needed to match the devolved responsibilities.
 Local governments also face difficulties in increasing their
 own resources (aside from state-transfers and grants) at a
 faster pace. Ensuring the availability of qualified human
 resources at the local level and improving public access to
 local services are also fundamental issues of concern.
