ESSAY:
The most common approach to community development is COPAR or Community Organizing
Participatory Action Research. What is COPAR and its phases? Describe each phase. Identify and briefly
discuss the activities/ strategies for each phase.

COPAR is a vital part of public health nursing. COPAR aims to transform the apathetic,
individualistic and voiceless poor into dynamic, participatory and politically responsive community. It is a
widely used framework in public health nursing that aims to empower marginalized communities by giving
them the opportunity to engage in the research process where they play an active role as participants

Four Phases of COPAR

1. The Pre-Entry Phase involves the selection of the target community. It should at least include 50
families and criteria are utilized to determine their need for community organizing. Preliminary
investigation is conducted through the use of secondary records and ocular inspection is done
prior to emersion. It is important to first coordinate with the local government unit during this
phase.
2. The Entry Phase involves the integration process and the acquisition of relevant information
necessary for the conceptualization of the community diagnosis. During this phase, potential
leaders are identified.
3. In the Organization-building phase, the people are mobilized through the creation of the
community health organization.
4. In the Sustenance and strengthening phase, the community and its people are being
developed to be self- reliant.
