NDC And It’s Social Interventions

Social Intervention doesn't come just like that. A social problem must trigger social intervention. A social problem is a problem that everyone talks about. In effect, if an individual talks about a particular problem that is not a social problem and therefore it remains as a problem at an individual level. It becomes social problem if it affects everyone and the community talks about it. As a result, it is the cropping out of social problems that calls for social intervention.

For you to understand social intervention then there's the need to identify social problems first before thinking of how to solve or resolve the problems. Identified strategies to lessen the burden of the society is what we referred to us social interventions.

This post is to educate social commentators about the meaning of Social Intervention. This will further let them know that when it comes to social interventions NDC is number ONE as a social democratic party.
