ABSTRACT

Background: community participation is a key component to improve health and has permanently been a mainstay within the Cuban Health System; however, the participation of community formal and informal leaders within health planning, specifically, in the development of Health Situation Analysis (ASIS) was not guaranteed, which limits the potential of community empowerment.
Objective: to propose a methodology for health planning, implementation and evaluation to increase community participation and local empowerment.
Method: the application of the methodology of the Comprehensive Participatory Planning and Evaluation (CPEE), internationally used for development projects, is proposed and adapted to the Cuban context to be used in the health services, starting from a pilot phase within an action research project.
Conclusions: a methodology for health planning, implementation and evaluation to increase community participation and local empowerment was proposed, which analyzed the potential for the achievement of its goals. If the implementation of the methodology were successful, we could propose its introduction and generalization within the health system as an alternative for the planning of group work in health areas and popular councils.
