Community Orientation Approach

The Community Orientation Approach (COA) is a method used in health and social services that focuses on understanding and addressing the specific needs of a community. It involves working closely with community members to identify their health issues, strengths, and resources. The goal is to develop tailored interventions that are culturally appropriate and sustainable, empowering the community to improve its overall well-being. This approach emphasizes collaboration, local participation, and respecting community values, ensuring that solutions are relevant and effective for those it aims to serve.
