Objectives By the end of this training, participants will be able to describe: • why MAPP is a long-term, system-wide paradigm shift in public health practice; • who to involve; • the benefits of the process; • the phases of MAPP; • how to build a successful process; • the time and resources it takes to implement MAPP; and • where to find MAPP resources.
MAPP is: • A community-wide strategic planning process for improving public health. • A method to help communities prioritize public health issues, identify resources for addressing them, and take action.
MAPP provides… • a framework, • guidance, • structure, and • best practices… for developing healthy communities.
Paradigm Shift • MAPP is a journey, not a destination. • MAPP is a shift in how we think about public health activities and planning with our communities. • MAPP is a complete, long-term, system-wide PARADIGM SHIFT.
Three Keys to MAPP • Strategic Planning • Community Driven Process • Focus on the Local Public Health System
What Does a Community-Driven Process Look Like? “There is a critical difference between going through the empty ritual of participation and having the real power needed to affect the outcome of the process.” (Sherry Arnstein, 1969: “A Ladder of Citizen Participation,” pg. 1)
