Community Work Approach

Community work, defined as a developmental activity comprised of both a task and a process underpins the work of the NTP and member organisations. The task is social change to achieve equality, social justice and human rights, and the process is the application of principles of participation, empowerment and collective decision making in a structured and co-ordinated way.
