WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? Setting priorities The Takeaway: If you want to bring about change, you need to be up for the challenge. But you also need to set reachable goals. You want your work to make a difference so you have to tackle important issues. You want to succeed, so you have to be realistic. In setting your goals, you must consider several questions. Faced with the range of challenges that have been thrown up by your community consultation – youth unemployment, say – and your review of the available data, you have to decide where to start. Pull the common factors and the surprising insights out of your research and see how they line up with your previous assumptions of what your particular community needs. Think about what new partners have emerged in the course of the consultation process, and how you might be able to work with them. Be open to new insights, wherever they originate. Come together to discuss the major issues that confront your community. For each, discuss: • Their prevalence: is the need widespread? Establishing need may not be straightforward – you may have anecdotal reports but no hard data, or you may have data from other centres but nothing from your own community. • Their severity: is the need serious or only a minor inconvenience? Every community has its problems, but not all of these are so acute as to be require community mobilisation. • Their generality: is it expressed most by a particular segment of the community? A severe problem that affects only a small section of the community is not necessarily unsuited for a community-wide project, but such a project may need to be handled differently. 23 SECTION 2 GETTING STARTED: Identifying what your community needs STRENGTHENING SMALL DAIRY COMMUNITIES TOOLKIT
