What is emphasized in the 'Organize Success and Partner Development' step of MAPP?

The 'Organize Success and Partner Development' step of MAPP (Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships) emphasizes community engagement and collaboration as essential components for effective public health planning. This step is focused on building relationships and partnerships within the community to enhance the capacity of the health improvement process.

Engaging community members and stakeholders fosters a sense of ownership and investment in the health planning efforts, encouraging diverse perspectives and resources to be utilized. This collaborative approach helps ensure that the needs and priorities of the community are accurately reflected in the planning process, ultimately leading to more successful outcomes.

In contrast, the identification of strategic issues, setting implementation timelines, and draining community resources are not aligned with the core objective of this step, which is to strengthen the network of partners and build a foundation for cooperative efforts aimed at addressing community health needs.
