    What is COPAR?
    COPAR or Community Organizing Participatory Action Research is a vital
    part of public health nursing. COPAR aims to transform the apathetic,
    individualistic and voiceless poor into dynamic, participatory and politically
    responsive community.

    A social development approach that aims to transform the apathetic,


    individualistic and voiceless poor into dynamic, participatory and politically
    responsive community.
    A collective, participatory, transformative, liberative, sustained and
    systematic process of building peoples organizations by mobilizing and
    enhancing the capabilities and resources of the people for the resolution of
    their issues and concerns towards effecting change in their existing
    oppressive and exploitative conditions (1994 National Rural Conference).
    A process by which a community identifies its needs and objectives,
    develops confidence to take action in respect to them and in doing so,
    extends and develops cooperative and collaborative attitudes and
    practices in the community (Ross 1967).
    A continuous and sustained process of educating the people to understand
    and develop their critical awareness of their existing condition, working with
    the people collectively and efficiently on their immediate and long-term
    problems, and mobilizing the people to develop their capability and
    readiness to respond and take action on their immediate needs towards
    solving their long-term problems (CO: A manual of experience, PCPD).

    What are the principles of COPAR?


    1. People especially the most oppressed, exploited and deprived sectors are
    open to change, have the capacity to change and are able to bring about
    change.
    2. COPAR should be based on the interest of the poorest sector of the
    community.
    3. COPAR should lead to a self-reliant community and society.
