People Centred Approach

About the Course

Course Summary


Course

People Centred Approach (PCA) in essence, is about tailoring the projects to the changing context by involving the population as active participants. Through PCA, MSF is reaffirming the commitment to proximity and to contextually adapted responses; the intention is to deepen the quality of engagement as well as ensuring that this constant dialogue informs the operational response and the cycle of improvement.


Objectives

  1. Define People Centred Approach in the context of OCBA’s medico-humanitarian action.
