Concrete Action

Concrete action refers to specific steps or measures that are taken to achieve a particular goal or objective. Concrete actions are specific, measurable, and verifiable, and they are designed to produce tangible results. Concrete actions are often part of a larger plan or strategy and are designed to address a particular problem or challenge. For example, a community organization might develop a plan to address youth violence that includes concrete actions such as increasing the number of after-school programs, implementing a mentoring program, and working with law enforcement to target areas of the city where violence is most prevalent.
