ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we present a brief introduction to the HEPRO project and the empowerment-planning model that was introduced for the partners in the project, we list the self-reported activities that were implemented and we show how they fit into the empowerment-planning model. The outputs and outcomes that are included in this chapter are from the answers the partners gave to the self-evaluation questions referred to in Chapter 4. This self-monitoring and self-evaluation is an integrated part of the plan - ning model. In our understanding of empowerment, communities will have a better capacity to lead themselves, focus on their challenges, organize themselves and implement actions, and learn from their experiences after the project.
