ABSTRACT
A community health system is a combination of local actors, their relationships and their processes in producing, advocating and supporting health in communities and households, beyond but in relation to the formal health system structures. As a social system, a community health system is characterized by both hierarchical and horizontal elements based on networking and relying on trust and acceptability. The process of community involvement involves an exchange of information leading to action by the people to improve a situation for a better life. In health facility management, community engagement at different levels is crucial. An action plan is developed to address the problems identified in the execution of a project at the health facility. This is the role of the health facility in-charge. The plan of action indicates the set of activities, including identifying the causes of the problem, the responsible person to implement the activity and the time frame.
