What is MAPP and how does it relate to the NPHPSP?
MAPP is the acronym for Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships. Developed by NACCHO and CDC and released in February 2001, it is a web-based tool designed to guide communities through a health improvement process. To access this tool, go to NACCHO’s website at www.naccho.org and click on the link for “Programs and Activities.” Additionally, a 24-page Field Guide provides a shorter overview of MAPP and can be found in the publications section of the NACCHO website. The MAPP model guides system and community partners through a strategic planning process that includes a set of four assessments.
