It may also be strategic for communities to table development plans as submissions in government’s integrated development planning (IDP) process. The next IDP cycle producing 5 year district and municipal level plans will commence just before the end of 2011. Where possible, partners should try to make presentations to the Municipality Council and the Municipality IDP Team to achieve recognition, appraisal and possible resources for Community Development Plan implementation. Engagement with Municipal IDP Officials and the Political Leadership can be facilitated through meetings, the IDP Representative Forum and IDP Road Shows. There will be other ongoing advocacy opportunities. Lobbying for the inclusion of the development plan in the IDP process and through the Ward Committee meetings will be beneficial. The credibility of the development plan should be apparent and recognized by both the community, Municipality and other key stakeholders. Individualized Business Plans with Economic and Social Development Departments can be further developed as part of the CDP document and pursued for further funding. Sustainability Too often, development interventions are ad hoc, short term and not sustainable. In particular, projects framed in a ‘deficiency model’ tend to create dependency on external funding and experts to keep them going. These types of interventions may initially generate interest and high expectations but often there is disillusionment when funding or partnership agreements conclude. They can also be very disruptive and can hamper future efforts. In fact, unsustainable interventions actually shrink the asset base. Sustainability is about people consciously taking responsibility for development. It is about continued skills and leadership development and networking. It is mostly about growth and conservation of the assets and resources a community has and can build on. Community members can therefore prioritize activities within their development plans which they can immediately and independently implement. It is important that there are shared intentions amongst partners to keep the process moving and that this is clarified from the onset. 131
2.19. Tips Moving Forward for NGOs, Donors and Government Offices wanting to support an ABCD approach (Source:Ninnette Eliasov and the Coady Institute) • When you get back to work after this training, understand that it is not always easy to shift the thinking of your colleagues towards ABCD practices and principles. This is ok. ABCD is not for everyone. Just as you have your reasons for adopting an ABCD approach, so too do they have a reason for using a needs-based (or other) approach. There are some things you can do if not everyone is receptive: - Pilot ABCD in a community where there is a good chance that you will succeed first before moving on to communities that may be more difficult. Learn all you can from the process and share the experience with colleagues through field visits. Document your work and share it with likeminded individuals and partners. An ABCD documentation guide is included on page… - Pilot a small and flexible Community Leverage Fund (see page…) to invest responsively in community-driven development. - Document the learning and share with your colleagues. Invite them to visit the pilot community to understand the different approach. • Every organization has its own mandate and mission. The willingness to adapt this mandate to support community-driven development in a completely open way will vary. This is ok. Remember that ABCD principles can be applied in any situation. If your mandate is to work with women and children affected by HIV/AIDS, find examples of women and children who have managed to survive and thrive (the ‘positive deviances’) and learn from them. Remember that in every situation, even the most difficult, there is always somebody doing something right. Some people find it useful to use this chart to compare approaches to working within common sectors of development: Community Problems Preventable diseases Poor housing Fatalism/apathy/dependency Low incomes/productivity Youth leaving Community Assets Examples of healthy families as positive role models Construction skills, history of people working together, tradition of savings, vacant land History of community-building activities (without relying on outsiders) Entrepreneurial skills, artistic skills, Close to market, Active women’s group, Responsive local government, Positive relationship with local NGO Positive role models, economic opportunities (above), youth group 132
