Organisational working approaches and experience

HAPA uses Participatory Techniques such as PRA, Community Based Health Care (CBHC) and Child-to-Child (CtC) approaches to facilitate community own self – assessment of needs i.e. enable them identify their development potential through problem-solving discussions concerning health, water and educational issues all of which are key to villages well-being.
