The Empowerment Approach

The Empowerment Approach is a strategy focused on enabling individuals and communities to gain control over their lives and make informed choices. It promotes self-determination and encourages people to identify their strengths, resources, and goals. By fostering skills, knowledge, and confidence, this approach helps individuals and groups to advocate for themselves, improve their circumstances, and achieve desired outcomes. Essentially, it shifts the focus from dependency on external aid to building capacity and resilience, empowering people to act as agents of change in their own lives and communities.
