Framework For Action –  Our Five Pillars Approach
​

CLAN's efforts are based on a rights-based, community development model that provides a strategic framework for action (our Five Pillars) to help children who are living with chronic health conditions in resource-poor countries.

The Five Pillars focus action on:
  1. Affordable access to medication and medical equipment.
  2. Education (of individuals, families, communities, health professionals, policy makers and the international community), Research and Advocacy.
  3. Optimisation of medical management (including primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, with a bio-psycho-social focus).
  4. Encouragement of family support networks.
  5. Reducing financial burdens on families that result in poverty, helping people to become financially independent so that they can provide the necessary health care for their children longer-term.

CLAN's framework for action has many advantages:
  • It is simple, and easily communicated to a wide range of stakeholders, thereby facilitating multisectoral involvement and a comprehensive approach to a complex problem
  • when communities of children (the support groups) are viewed as the central hub of all action by all stakeholders, genuine child and family centred and community development approaches are natural consequences
  • local involvement, ownership and control is fostered, ensuring culturally appropriate action
  • long-term, sustainable change is achieved through a development (rather than welfare) approach, and a focus on the broader social determinants of health rather than a narrow bio-medical approach.
