Discussion
Review Chapter 9 in your course text, paying particular attention to the section on "Community Empowerment and Capacity Building."
Review photo essays of macro interventions on the UNICEF web site. Select one photo essay that interests you.
In the photo essay you selected, consider whether you see evidence of community empowerment.
Think about how community empowerment might have been increased if you do see existing evidence of it or how community empowerment might have been engendered if you do not see evidence of it.
Consider how a capacity building approach can improve outcomes in at-risk environments.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a brief description of the photo essay you selected. Explain whether you see evidence of community empowerment. If you see evidence, explain the evidence and explain how community empowerment might have been increased. If you do not see evidence, explain how community empowerment might have been engendered. Lastly, discuss how a capacity building approach can improve outcomes in at-risk environments.
