celebrating our

strengths
Every community has the capacity to respond to life
challenges, to
build a common vision,
to act, and to adapt.
We can reveal and nurture that capacity
Communities think and act for themselves.
Facilitators stimulate them to take action through
appreciates strengths
and fosters local ownership.
an approach that
This is the Community Life Competence Process
People have taken local ownership of the issue
“This is OUR
problem and
we are going
to do
something
about it!”
People drive effective
responses to [public]
health
Health services are
needed but don’t replace
what people do for
themselves
What does this mean for a HIV?
Zero New HIV Infections
Zero AIDS-Related Deaths
Zero Discrimination
Prevention
Is a strategic
Local
pillar that
ownership complements
Treatment
and Care
Support
But, is local ownership
enough to drive local
responses? …
...No, because communities underestimate
their capacity
“We know it’s a problem, but
don’t have the resources to
respond”
“We are victims”
“We are waiting for the
experts”
Therefore, we must reveal
their capacity and
strengths
Once communities know
their strengths, their selfconfidence grows...
… and they’ll use their strengths to address
their problems
“We can do this
together!”
Communities are
Stimulated to progress when
others
Appreciate their strengths
Learn actively and link them to others
Transfer their learning to other contexts
This Way of Working is
S.A.L.T.
Every community has the capacity to respond to life
challenges, to
build a common vision,
to act, and to adapt.
We can reveal and nurture that capacity
Once we discover our strengths
and take ownership,
we act
Communities think and act for themselves.
Facilitators stimulate them to take action through
appreciates strengths
and fosters local ownership.
