Community Systems Strengthening Framework
18 May 2010
The Community Systems Strengthening Framework has been developed in the light of experience and in recognition of the need for increased clarity and understanding of CSS. It is intended to facilitate increased funding and technical support for CSS, particularly (but not only) for community based organisations and networks. The Framework defines the terminology of CSS and discusses the ways in which community systems contribute to improving health outcomes. It provides a systematic approach for understanding the essential components of community systems and for the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of interventions to strengthen these components.
