A SWOT analysis is a tool used in gathering and identifying resources of a community, along with strengths and weaknesses of the environment. Such an analysis provides an organized and systematic way of gathering the information collected from a community. This, in turn, helps determine the areas of possible changes and explore new and alternative possibilities to solutions of issues within a community.
