This analysis delves into the critical role of social capital in improving health, equity, and household resilience in LMICs. By examining the resurgence of interest in social dimensions of development and the World Health Organization’s framework, this study highlights the need for policies that strengthen community ties to enhance population health amidst resource scarcity and volatility.
