Exercise 2.3.4: Group Work Objective: To identify and explain the factors that promote community mobilisation. Time: 30 Minutes Question 1. Identify and explain the factors that promote community mobilisation. Community Mobilisation and Participation Instruction to the Facilitator 1. Put volunteers into groups of five. 2. Ask each group to identify and explain some of the factors that promote community mobilisation. 3. Let each group make a presentation at a plenary. Discuss group presentations. From the Exercise, what do factors affect community mobilisation? Compare with the factors below. Leadership Whenever community members come together to take action to improve their situation, leaders will emerge and the type of leadership determines the success or failure of a programme. A very important attribute that emerging leadership must have to move the people is one that inspires and provides guidance. This kind of leadership encourages and develops the people they work with. The leaders must also come up with innovative strategies for doing things. However, our focus should always be on accomplishing the project not on the leadership. As CHVs and VHCs you have to provide leadership, vision, strategies and commitment in all that you do. The people will follow a leader who knows where he is going. Community vision The community members need to have a shared idea or mental picture of what they want the community to be like or achieve. Your role is to guide them to be realistic about what can be achieved and how long it would take. An example of community vision is: Campaign for the use of bed nets by pregnant women and children under five years to reduce malaria related deaths by 10% by the end of two years. Specific goals and plans These are very necessary in order to avoid the risk of starting a project that never gets completed and members become frustrated. Community members must have a goal and a plan they can use to guide their activities. Your role here is to guide the community to set their goals and come up with a written plan that they can use to implement the projects. 119
Module 2 Community Mobilisation and Tools 120 Resources You need both human and material resources to carry out your activities. These resources must be adequate to be able to complete a project successfully. Your role as volunteers is to help find resources, advocate for support, manage them and then account for them properly. Lack of accountability has led to the collapse of many organisations in communities. So, be careful to accurately and regularly account for the use of resources to the community and sponsors of your programme. Topic 5 Skills for effective community mobilisation You described how to mobilise your communities for a project. How did you do it? What skills did you use? Use your experience in mobilisation to do the exercise below. Think also of those skills you will like to acquire that will help you to mobilise communities effectively as you do the next exercise. Class Exercise 2.3.5 Objective: To identify skills the volunteers need to be able to mobilise communities effectively. To find out how these skills can be acquired. Time: 15 minutes Questions 1. What are the type of skills volunteers need to be able to mobilise communities effectively 2. How can these skills be acquired? Instruction to the Facilitator 1. Ask each participant to list the kinds of skills s/he needs for community mobilisation on a piece of paper Collect the responses and ask someone to read them out 2. Agree on those skills that each participant will need for mobilising communities. Write them all down on a flip chart 3. Discuss each point with the participants and let them say how they will acquire these skills. We shall now discuss the skills you need in community mobilisation. See how many you have on your list. Planning Planning is putting down on paper what you want to do, how and when you want to do it. It also includes who will do various activities, the resources needed and how you will know that you have achieved your goal. Planning is one of the skills you must have at your finger tips to get your work done as volunteers. With practice, it will become easy to plan community activities and execute them.
