In San Onofre, a rural community in Nicaragua, multiple iterations of the CBPR model have been developed during the planning and evaluation of their work. In 2016, a community health worker developed her CBPR model as a part of her plan to identify new partners and improve upon existing relationships to reduce maternal mortality, increase childhood vaccinations, and support community empowerment. This helped her team to systematically think about the effect of context in their community and how that might impact their program's results. In 2018, community health workers and their health committee developed a third version of the CBPR model to communicate not only ‘what’ they were doing but ‘how’ and ‘why’ as well, highlighting the intentions and values leading their programs' processes. The CBPR model is represented as a dynamic flower, emphasizing participation and love at the center. This flower is still used to update their community on the evolving contexts, partnerships, programs, and actions being taken in San Onofre.
