• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The need for empowered communities is overwhelming in a world that keeps changing day in and day out. With a strong commitment to issues of social justice, human rights, and community development, social work is very crucial in fostering growth, resilience, and empowerment in diverse individuals and groups from different parts of the world. Empowering Communities: A Social Work Approach is a journey that will comprehensively look at how social workers become active agents of change within different communities. This eBook targets all social workers, community organizers, policymakers, and practitioners concerned about social development around the world.

This eBook brings into perspective the historical and theoretical roots of community empowerment within the context of social work in line with universal principles and region-specific approaches. The book actually takes readers through a step-by-step process from the initial stages of empowerment theory right through to contemporary methodologies such as Participatory Action Research (PAR); and Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) (ABCD and PAR).

In this process, the reader will explore issues of central concern to community empowerment, such as inclusivity, participation, and capacity building, and contrast those with unique issues that occur in communities around the globe. The placing of such issues as poverty, gender inequality, environmental sustainability, and digital inclusion within an international context underlines how social workers tailor interventions to address both universal and region-specific issues.

Community empowerment is evident within the eBook, where the role of social workers themselves is often in advocacy, facilitation, and mediation. Case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and Latin America provide an illustration of how these processes of empowerment operate in practice-from practical examples of how successful programs have transformed life.

The tools and methodologies that would actually empower the social worker to effect change at the grassroots level are discussed in further detail in this eBook, including practical information on the conduct of a community needs assessment, creating partnerships, and building resilience. It also discusses how technology is integrated into the concept of community empowerment, especially in contemporary times, through digital platforms and social media for advocacy and service delivery.

It also focuses on policies and frameworks that facilitate community empowerment at the national and international levels concerning governments, NGOs, and global organizations. The eBook equips the reader with strategies for measuring and evaluating efforts to empower them by ensuring that interventions make a sustainable and longer impact.

Empowering Communities: A Social Work Approach is at once a pragmatic guide, while one that challenges traditional thinking on behalf of those committed to improving lives through community-based interventions. It serves to catalyze a global movement of inclusive, resilient, and empowered communities and places social workers at the forefront of this key work.
