ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Participatory approaches to health often link capacity building as an indispensable process for strengthening the social capital of communities, in order to develop empowerment processes that lead to social transformation at the local level. In Pueblo Rico (Colombia), a capacity-building program in cutaneous leishmaniasis and social skills for community work was implemented with school students, health workers and local leaders. This article seeks to evaluate the implementation, results, and impact of that program.

METHODS:

Primary data were collected through participant observation, questioners, the development of artistic products, and a focus group. Qualitative data were coded and analyzed through thematic analysis, and the quantitative data were quantitively coded and analyzed.

RESULTS:

The capacity-building program had positive results in terms of the three aspects evaluated the pedagogical model's implementation, the learning process, and the impact of the program. Three key elements that contributed to the success of the program were identified the application of the principles of meaningful learning as a guide for the pedagogical model, the use of Social Innovation in Health case studies to broaden participant's perspective, and the creation of artistic products as facilitators for the appropriation of knowledge.

CONCLUSION:

Participatory pedagogical models adequate to the context and its participants allow the implementation of effective training programs that develop capacities within the communities. To achieve a significant impact, it is necessary to ensure the continuity and long-term sustainability of capacity building through transfer of knowledge with cooperation between health institutions and the community. In this way, the capacities developed by the community constitute a valuable social capital for achieving transformations within and outside the health field.
