Document Summary

Advocacy approach represents service delivery that differs in underlying philosophy and strategies of implementation stresses process over product main objectives: First to develop the capacity of citizens to identify the problems and take actions toward solutions, and. Second to change the social and political structure to support these changes. Local service development is a process in which members of the community provide their own services at the community level. This approach assumes that problems in the community have local solutions and that members of the community can take the initiative to help themselves. Citizen participation is a process of involving members of the community in planning and program implementation. A classical example of different levels of citizen participation in relation to community development are described by arnstein (1969) in her article titled a ladder of citizen participation(referred to later in this unit).
