dc.descriptionThe Makapawa programme, implemented in 1976 in Leyte, Philippines, was a response to the region’s severe health challenges, characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates from diseases like pneumonia, malnutrition, and tuberculosis. The programme adopted a participatory evaluation method that involved the community in assessing health problems and developing solutions. This was part of a broader effort to address not only health issues but also the underlying economic and political conditions contributing to these problems. The programme’s innovative approach to evaluation—focusing on community involvement—provided a model for other rural health initiatives.
dc.description.abstractThis 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.
