, 1. Introduction
The persistent challenge of teenage pregnancy and HIV infection, particularly within
rural South African contexts, necessitates a multi-faceted community work intervention.
This assignment critically examines various community work theories, approaches, and
models as outlined in the BSW3703 study guide, applying them to a specific case study
in Limpopo. The objective is to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the
theoretical underpinnings of community work and their practical application in
addressing complex social issues such as adolescent sexual health. This response will
navigate through key phases of community work, including contact making, needs
assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation, alongside
exploring crucial approaches and principles such as the community education model,
person-centred practice, and the participation principle. Additionally, the role of
collective action and the facilitator will be unpacked. The analysis throughout will be
analytical, drawing on established scholarship to support the proposed interventions
and illustrate a nuanced understanding of community development principles.
