| Abstract |
This paper discusses the design
of a methodology for ‘building capable
communities’ in a health promotion programme
context. The design of the methodology builds
upon previous work and offers a new approach,
through the use of nine ‘operational
domains’, for the assessment and strategic
planning of community empowerment. The purpose
is to go beyond the rhetoric of participation
and empowerment and to provide a better understanding
of how community empowerment goals can be
made to be operational in a health promotion
programme context. |
