Community life competence
Connecting local responses around the world
CSS as a strategy!
Dear Friends,
I solicit your views on full ownership of all health/development related endeavours by the community at large.
Wish to invite your opinion and sharing of experiences pertaining to Community Systems Strengthening (CSS) as the main strategic objective and subsequent interventions.
The CSS need not supplant the much needed Health Systems Strengthening(HSS) in the developing nations ,but at the same time it should never be perceived as something secondary or inferior just to be subsumed through a tokenist mention in a larger approach of HSS or what have you.
Community led structural interventions(CLSIs) have had varying degrees of successes in different parts of the Globe.
The need of the hour is to have programmes and projects based at ,led by and fully owned by the community.Social change communication will bring about the desired behaviour change if supported by equitable and effective quality service delivery monitored by the community.
Let us share our experiences and perspectives to be incorporated in our policies, strategies, programmes in general and for ensuring advocacy for the change of mindset in particular.
Best wishes,
Dr.Rajesh Gopal, AIDS Control,Gujarat,India.
