N.I.C.H.I. Model Groups
A small number of communities are being supported at a local level to address health and social wellbeing issues using a community development approach. This approach involves:
Consulting with the community to identify local needs, priorities, assets and aspirations in relation to health improvement
Developing these ideas into an outcome-focused action plan with a view to creating a healthier community
Implementing identified actions, building community capacity and developing partnerships
Monitoring and evaluating both process and outcomes, recording and sharing the learning from this approach
