     Strengthening Communities

    A common national and international strategy focused on addressing issues of poor health and hygiene, poverty, and malnutrition is providing monetary aid to countries in need. These efforts, according to organizations which include UNICEF, World Vision, and the Clinton Global Initiative, are not enough. Rather, attention needs to be focused on developing communities, where meticulous is attention paid to "stimulating local agriculture and food development—particularly the economic and social empowerment of women, the primary caregivers in most households" (Editors, PloS Magazine, 2008).

    •  
    • The role that communities can play in addressing issues of poor health and hygiene, poverty, and malnutrition, and the challenges that exist in building supportive communities
    •  
    • Why focusing on community development represents such a viable strategy, and effective strategies for community building
    •  
    • The potential role that you, as a child development professional, can play in community development
