    What is
    community
    engagement?
    What makes community
    engagement a very rewarding
    experience is the amount of
    enthusiasm coming from all
    participants. It affirms that
    community members would engage
    in activities that will bring impact to
    their community.
    Definition of
    community
    engagement
    The process of working
    collaboratively with and through
    groups of people affiliated by
    geographic proximity, special
    interest, or similar situations to
    address issues affecting the well-
    being of those people.
    The goals of community
    engagement
    • To build trust
    • To enlist new resources and allies
    • To create better communication, and
    • To improve overall health outcomes
    as successful projects, evolve into
    lasting collaborations.
    Why is community
    engagement
    needed?
    To engage a community in the
    discussion increases the level of
    awareness among its members;
    it allows individuals to advocate
    for their ideas and offers a format
    to gather advice or guidance
    based on the community’s
    expertise and experiences.
    It is needed to guide the
    development of the project
    agenda by:
    • Expanding or redefining the focus of
    the initiative
    • Identifying unexposed information,
    and
    • Creating a network of revenue
    sources and funding partners
    With community engagement,
    the diversity and the number of
    identified stakeholders can be
    expected to increase.
    Stakeholders are educated on
    the issue and invited to
    contribute to the process thereby
    expanding access to available
    knowledge and skills.
    When the majority of the
    community members are
    engaged at the beginning
    and throughout the project,
    people appear to:
    • Be more receptive to the outcome
    • Have the capacity to implement
    change, and
    • Maintaining long-tem partnership
    improves
    Who can make it
    happen?
    Innovative community members who
    have the vision for what is possible will
    naturally invite the right people to come
    and join the group. Hopefully, the
    community leaders will recognize the
    value of inclusion engagement, but it is
    not always the case. A certain community
    member may see the connection between
    a proposed initiative and the community
    and ask to be included. In other
    situations, it may be the community
    leader who proposes engagement.
    What is the
    process?
    Members’ awareness that
    community cooperation is
    advantageous to the development
    and implementation of the project is
    not enough. Knowledge requires
    action to create impact. Russ M.
    Linden (2002) recommended that
    certain conditions must be present
    before engagement can take place.
    The recommendation
    includes the ff
    requirements:
    • There should be a shared and
    defined purpose;
    • Willingness to cooperate
    • Commitment to contribute positively
    • Participation coming from the right
    persons;
    • There should be an open and
    credible process; and
    • The involvement of the
    community leader with credibility
    and clout
    The process in complex,
    but it is imaginable.
    Initially, the leadership
    needs to:
    • Convene a small group to clarify and
    validate the community vision;
    • Discuss and define the initiative and its
    potential impact;
    • Set the purpose and goals of community
    engagement;
    • Define the community;
    • Know and respect the community’s
    characteristics
    • Develop a relationship with the
    community, build trust, work with
    formal and informal leadership, find
    the community gatekeeper, identify
    the project champion, met with the
    local organizations, and learn the
    assets and challenges for that
    community; and lastly,
    • Find the common interest
