Our Definition of Community Engagement
Our Approach on Community Engagement
At NANA, we foster meaningful community engagement through inclusive and collaborative practices that build trust and drive impact. Our approach includes:
Facilitating Dialogue 🗣️
📌We create safe spaces for open conversations where community members feel heard, respected, and valued.
Building Partnerships 🤝
📌We collaborate with local groups, businesses, and individuals to achieve shared goals. Some of the groups we’ve supported have evolved into active Community-Based Organizations (CBOs).
Encouraging Participation 👥
📌We organize meetings, trainings, and programs that involve community members in decision-making. For example, when planning adolescent training sessions, both the community and NANA co-design the process together.
Responding to Community Needs 🎯
📌We actively listen to communities to understand their priorities and tailor our programs to address their real concerns and aspirations.
