    Working as Equals—Towards a Community-Based Evaluation System
    (Community Development Journal, 1983) Pagaduan, Maureen; Ferrer, Elmer M.
    This paper discusses the Makapawa programme, a health initiative set in Leyte, Philippines, in 1976, focused on addressing rural health challenges through a community-based evaluation system. The programme aimed to improve health outcomes by involving local communities in identifying issues and implementing solutions. It also critiques traditional health evaluation methods, emphasizing the importance of participatory research and community involvement in health programme evaluation. The paper explores the economic and political context of health disparities in the region and introduces a phased approach to community-based evaluation.
