There are 3-key points in grasping the
definition more meaningful:

Understanding – raise an awareness about


certain communal issues that needs
to be addressed. People develop the feeling
of involvement once they truly
comprehend the situation within. They come
together to support advocacies
that will overcome community needs and
difficulties.
Engagement – Once issues are assessed
properly and people in the community
understand the needs, they work
collaboratively to act on it. The main goal of
engaging in the community is to improve the
partnership and coalitions among the
community. It is important that engagement
occurs so that members will be able to involve
meaningfully in the activities that they have
created.
Empowerment – enable the people to
independently decide, plan-out and take
action to control the situation they have in the
community. This means, initiative and decisions
come from internal group organized for the
benefit of everyone.
It is also necessary that the community can
provide significant networks and
linkages that will genuinely serve the
advocacies that they have built
