This first effort has been carried out in Barrio México and the San Diego II region of the La Paz municipality of the Carazo department in the southern part of Nicaragua. The research seeks to explore the experience of community organization around public health and identify guidelines for organizational work, the improvement of community actions based on the prevention of health problems and greater effectiveness in the protagonism on the part of the communities.

Nicaragua es un país con una historia ejemplar en temas de desarrollo humano, con base en la estrategia práctica de la organización comunitaria. Sin embargo, los efectos de la implementación de políticas neoliberales que vivió el país durante diecisiete años (1990-2006) resulta clave para estudiar la práctica de las familias y comunidades en estos nuevos tiempos. Este primer esfuerzo ha sido realizado en barrio México y comarca San Diego II del municipio La Paz del departamento Carazo en la zona sur de Nicaragua. La investigación busca explorar la experiencia de organización comunitaria en torno a la salud pública e identificar pautas de trabajo organizativo, la mejora de las acciones comunitarias en función de la prevención de los problemas de salud y mayor efectividad en el protagonismo por parte de las comunidades. Tanto el estudio como la propuesta tienen su base en la participación y el empoderamiento como variables clave en los procesos de organización comunitaria. El estudio concluye que se cuenta con buenas prácticas comunitarias para el cuido de la salud. Sin embargo, aún existen limitantes para desplegar niveles de compromiso comunitario, en el que las instituciones, las autoridades y los liderazgos juegan un papel relevante a tener presente.
