Community empowerment is an important aspect of CAHN as this is a major platform in reaching communities and having interactions that are beneficial to the Caribbean and African Communities in these localities. 

There is a strong partnership with external stakeholders, local authorities, local infrastructure organisations, and faith groups. To date, CAHN has been working with grassroots leaders to disseminate COVID-19 messages, by setting up a WhatsApp group and assisting with social media. 

The importance of community empowerment can enable change in local policies and service provisions that not only enrich lives of communities but help shape a communities’ future.
