Box 2.3.2 Community Mobilisation and Participation Community Entry This is the stage where a few people recognise that there is a need or problem that they would like to do something about. So they contact a number of important people and groups in the community to share their thoughts with. Out of these people a team is formed which critically looks at the community’s needs or problem from all sides. They find out the causes of the problems and opportunities available to solve or meet the need. Then, they look at possible places to get resources. In addition they describe the various population groups and their characteristics in the community. These findings are all documented for use in solving the problem. Readiness The community becomes convinced about the benefits of a programme or project and is prepared to commit resources to develop and implement it. Assessment Assessment of community’s problems and underlying causes is done, resources and opportunities available are identified. Environmental, social and economic assessment is also conducted. Demographic characteristics are also described in the project document. Planning At this stage, the team prepares a plan to solve the problem or meet the need. This plan should have all the details of how the work will be done; who plays the lead roles and how it will get most people in the community to take part in the activity. The plan should also have specific goals, objectives and activities. The team sets targets for each of the activities planned to be used when evaluating their work. Implementation The team carries out all the activities they have planned to address the issue. They monitor the activities to find out whether things are being done according to plan and targets being met. Evaluation At the end of each activity, the team that planned and implemented the programme looks back at its work and asks a few questions. Have we achieved our targets? If yes, what next? If no, why not? When targets have not been achieved, the team identifies all the possible reasons and finds solutions to it. Where the targets have been achieved, the team helps the community to look for other needs and problems that must be addressed. 117

There are various methods used for mobilising communities. We can use one or more depending on the situation. Exercise 2.3.3 Objective: To identify various methods used in mobilising communities Time: 30 Minutes Question 1. What methods have you used to mobilise community members for an activity? Instruction to the Facilitator Ask participants to mention the various methods they have used to mobilise communities on different occasions for different activities. List them on the flip chart and discuss each of the methods with participants. Compare with Box 2.3.3. Community mobilisation methods are ways of getting people in the community involved in finding out their problems and planning for solving them. Knowledge of the community is essential for effective community mobilisation. Some of the methods are listed in Box 2.3.3 below Box 2.3.3: Methods for Community Mobilisation A.
