The MAPP Project
Mobilizing
for Action Through Planning and Partnership
MAPP is a community wide strategic planning tool for improving community health. Facilitated by public health leadership, this tool helps communities prioritize public health issues and identify resource for addressing them.
Community ownership is the fundamental component of
MAPP. The community strengths, needs, and desires drive the process.
MAPP provides the framework for creating a truly community driven initiative.
Why do we need you? Community participation leads to collective thinking and, ultimately, results in effective, sustainable solutions to complex problems. Broad community participation is essential because a wide range of organization and individuals contribute to public health. Public, private, and voluntary organizations join community members and informal associations in provisions of local public health services.
