A Mobilization Cycle (Outline)
by
Phil Bartle, PhD

Training Handout

The series of mobilization and management training interventions
goes something like this (modified according to varying situations):

 Sensitisation and Clearance
   Sessions with local leaders and Government officials

 Awareness Raising
    Public meetings with members of target communities

 Unity Organizing
    Pulling together different community factions

 Mobilizer Training
    Organizing the community workers

 Management Training
    The training of community leaders and mobilizers
    (eg how to prepare and write effective project designs)

 Participatory Assessment
    Identify priority problems (therefore priority goals as solutions)

 Community Action Plan (CAP)
    Consistent with District Plans and Community Priorities

 Community Project Designs
    Invited from and submitted by target communities as proposals

 Negotiation
    Proposals discussed until they meet everyone's expectations

 Implementation Begins
    Work starts by community members on community project

 Monitoring and Reporting
    A requirement before subsequent instalment payments

 Subsequent Instalment Payments
    Dependent upon action and reporting

 Work Continues Until Completion
    Implementation, monitoring, reporting, payments

 Official Completion Ceremony
    Invite more community project designs
    (a process; not a finite ending)

For an illustrated and animated power point presentation of this cycle,
