This approach emphasizes the importance of involving community members in decision-making processes, problem-solving, and program planning to ensure that interventions are culturally relevant, sustainable, and effective. Community collaboration often involves capacity-building, community empowerment, and collective action to enact positive change and improve the overall well-being of a community. Key elements of successful community collaboration include establishing trust, fostering communication, promoting shared goals, and building on existing community assets and strengths.
