What are the good things about a community?

Answer 1

What are the advantages and disadvantages of community-managed hygiene promotion and public health communication programmes?

Hygiene promotion programmes cannot coerce people to start using facilities they do not feel are suitable or sustainable. However, hygiene promotion can play a supporting role in technical projects by creating an understanding of the (health) implications of various options and providing follow-up for proper use and maintenance.

In community-managed programmes for hygiene change, trained local or external health educators help communities or local groups to establish and manage their own programmes and organizations to realize the changes they want. In doing so, they use the community organization approach to health and hygiene, and insights and methods from adult education.

Programmes using public health communication programmes combine the use of mass media with personal contacts to stimulate large numbers of individuals and households to change specific behaviours directly, without formulating their own programmes and forming their own hygiene management organizations.

Each approach has advantages and disadvantages and which approach to select, or whether to use a combination of the two, depends on factors like: the context in which the hygiene promotion takes place; the types of behaviour requiring change; and the number of people to be reached.

Answer 2

the good thing is that it encourages the other community members and it also builds the feature of incoming citizens of it.
