Community Analysis
• Community analysis involves reviewing demographic, health and other essential data about the community or population and how it compares to national or regional averages.
• This initial assessment of the community helps identify key stakeholders, target groups and provides a basis for community engagement.
• Once the target group is identified, develop a clear description of the target group to further focus the next steps of problem and determinant analysis.

Benefits

Capacitybuilding
• Community engagement as a strategy within a capacity building approach can thus be described as a ‘bottom-up’ approach, informed by and owned by the community.
• Capacity building can present challenges for health professionals because it necessarily involves health practitioners relinquishing control and working towards a role obsolescence.
• Capacity building can be seen as a central health promotion strategy and is a continual process that acts in parallel at each point along the public health intervention management cycle.
