asset-based approach

The asset-based approach focuses on identifying and utilizing the strengths, resources, and capabilities of individuals or communities to foster development and solve problems. Rather than concentrating on deficits or what is lacking, this approach emphasizes what is available, such as skills, relationships, and local assets, to drive positive change. By recognizing and leveraging these existing strengths, communities can build resilience and create sustainable improvements, empowering individuals and groups to take charge of their own growth and well-being. This method encourages collaboration and innovation, fostering a more constructive and supportive environment for development.
