Collaboration
• Collaboration is working together
to achieve a goal.
• It is a recursive process where two
or more people or organizations
work together to realize shared
goals, but a deep, collective,
determination to reach an identical
objective.
• An endeavor that is creative in
nature by sharing knowledge,
learning and building consensus.
(Team work, partnership, group effort,
association)
Cooperation
• Cooperation is the process
of working or acting together.
• In its simplest form it involves
things working in harmony.
• It is the opposite of working
separately in competition.
(Assistance, support, help, mutual aid)
Community
• The concept of “community” implies a group of
people sharing something in common.
Green, 2007

• Communities are formed by people who are
connected to each other in distinct and varied
ways.
• Communities are diverse and dynamic, and
one person may be part of more than one
community.
• Community members may be connected by
living in the same area or by shared
experiences, health and other challenges,
living situations, culture, religion, identity or
values.
Global Fund, 2010

 People as health workers.
 People as purchasers of care.
