1. ANALYZE
-
The basic physical and structural facilities needed for the operation of a society or enterprise​
-
A key indicator of a developing/developed country and society
-
This includes tangible items and resources of a community, such as roads, wells, buildings and businesses
Infrastructure
Community Leadership
-
Members of the community that holds a considerable amount of influence within the network/s; with or without a position of power
-
Alludes to people of influence - people with significant influence over the community, people in positions of power, political influencers, etc.

What are the practices they utilise to lead the community?
OUR SIX PILLARS
Economy
-
The state of a country or region in terms of the production and consumption of goods and services and the supply of money​
-
We typically define a nation's economy based on 3 factors: Industry, Services and Agriculture
-
When we understand the percentage of how the economy of the nation is being structured, we would know what are some of the gaps and therefore the opportunities present
Education
-
Education is the social institution through which society provides its members with important knowledge, including basic facts, job skills, and cultural norms values
-
It informs us and forms the context of the economic structure - What are the outcomes of these skill sets we are teaching
Social Justice
-
Many of the problems that the community face boils down to how we treat each other - particularly the vulnerable. "The test of a civilisation is the way that it cares for its helpless members." - Pearl S. Buck
-
In every community you are serving, how are they treating the vulnerable?
Culture & Spirituality
-
Every society is complex and unique
-
Culture & Spirituality outlines the rules of engagement for any community to operate cohesively - a set of beliefs that are based on societal expectations
-
Learning and understanding the history of one's culture and beliefs, helps us to better appreciate their behaviours without being blind-sided by it
-
The specificity and nuance of culture helps us better understand what we are dealing with, helps us get to the root issue of things.
