Community participatory tools helps community members to work together as a team to assess their health needs, identify problems and together find solutions to them. C-COPE encourages community members to be creative and innovative when solving local problems. The tool also enables the health care staff to build partnerships with community members in order to improve local health services. Again, it makes community members more responsive to needs in their communities and fosters community ownership of health, thus encouraging behaviour change. C-COPE is built around the framework of clients’ rights which are indicated in Box 2.4.1 ‘Clients’ Rights’ below. Box 2.4.1: Clients’ Rights • • • • • • • Informed choice Safe services Privacy and confidentiality Dignity, comfort and expression of opinion Access to services Continuity of care Information. The statement in the Box 2.4.2 ‘Community COPE Makes a Difference’ is a testimony from a community member who participated in a Community COPE exercise. Box 2.4.2: Community COPE Makes a Difference “Before, we were careless and ignorant. We kept our problems to ourselves and never spoke about the problems of the community. Now it is different, we all take part in identifying our problems, come together to find practical solutions within our means, draw action plans and implement the recommendations.” Anonymous.
