asset mapping

Asset mapping is a method used to identify and visualize the strengths, resources, and capacities within a community or organization. It involves cataloging assets such as local businesses, organizations, talents, facilities, and natural resources. The goal is to understand what exists and how these assets can be leveraged to address challenges, promote development, or improve quality of life. By focusing on strengths rather than problems, asset mapping helps communities build on existing resources for sustainable growth and problem-solving.
