Citizen-Centered Social Support Model vs Traditional Welfare System #2323423 (License: Personal Use)

The left side illustrates a linear, top-down welfare system where communities contribute via taxation, government allocates funds to professionals, and services are delivered to needy individuals. The right side shows a circular, participatory model where citizens engage directly with government and professionals through negotiated support and entitlements, grounded in community-level contribution and shared decision-making. Arrows indicate bidirectional relationships and mutual accountability.

Used on policy briefs, NGO advocacy pages, or public administration course materials to explain systemic reform in social services; targets policymakers, students, and community organizers seeking equitable service design.
