Description

INTRODUCTION Empowerment, the means to attaining power, is described here in the broadest sense as the process by which relatively powerless people work together to increase control over events that determine their lives and health. Most definitions give the term a positive value that embodies the notion of empowerment coming from within an individual or group (1,2). The essence of empowerment is that it cannot be bestowed by others but must be gained by those who seek it. Those who have power or have access to it, such as a health practitioner, and those who want it, such as their clients, must work together to create the conditions necessary to make empowerment possible. In this paper, the term 'practitioner' has been used for describing the range of population, health and nutrition professionals, who in their everyday work, have an opportunity to help empower individuals, groups, and communities.
