What do we mean by "social participation"?

       Social participation can take on a number of different forms including:

• informing people with balanced, objective information;

• consulting, whereby the affected community provides feedback;

• involving, or working directly with communities;

• collaborating by partnering with affected communities in each aspect of the decision including the development of alternatives identification of solutions; and

• empowering, by ensuring that communities retain ultimate control over the key decisions that affect their wellbeing.

• Why social participation?
                       An important social goal is civil society participation. To strengthen political will leads to people´s controll over the factors that affect their health. Ministries of Health cannot create this participation but they can create spaces that enable and encourage participation.
  
  Social participation involving vulnerable and excluded groups should seek the empowerment of those groups, increasing their effective control over decisions that influence their health and life quality and their access and use of health services.  www.who.int
