Background Information for Learners:
Community action is any activity that increases the understanding, engagement, and empowerment
of communities in the design and delivery of local services. It is about putting communities at the heart of
their own local services which involves helping the community to share, knowledge, skills and ideas.
Community action involves the different core values and principles which include human rights, social
equality, gender equality, and participatory development.
Human rights are universal and inalienable in nature, which means all people around the globe are
entitled to these rights. According to Nickel (1992), “they exist and are available standards of justification
and criticism whether or not they are recognized or implemented by the legal system or officials of a
country.” Hence, these aim to identify the basis for determining the shape, content, and scope of
fundamental public norms. For example, human rights involve the three basic rights- right to life, right to
liberty, and right to property. Right to Life is a moral principle based on the belief that a human being has
the right to live and in a particular should not be killed by another human being. Example Abortion, every
baby deserved to live they have also a heartbeat. Right to Liberty is the right of all persons to freedom of
their person - freedom of movement and freedom from arbitrary detentions of others. Liberty may be
deprived in terms of administrative authorities wherein it is necessary as in the case of mentally disturbed
persons. During state of emergency or of disarray, right to liberty may legally be limited while intending to
preserve life. And lastly Right to property or right to own property is often classified as a human right for
natural persons regarding their possessions. A general recognition of a right to private property is found
more rarely and is typically heavily constrained insofar as property is owned by legal persons and where it
is used for production rather than consumption. Example slavery and the exploitation of others.
Another principle of action involves social equity. Social equity is defined as the equality and
fairness in terms of the treatment of human beings, access to resources, and life chances. According to
Global Issues Pilot Team (2011), social justice is “a societal value which guides human interaction and in
particular, the fair distribution of society’s benefits, advantages, and assets, not just by law and in the
courts by all aspects of society.” This involves the fairness in distributing financial aids to the needy and
impoverished. Here is an example of a scenario in showing social equity.
 Olivia was teacher at a school. She is a lesbian and began regularly experiencing
homophobictaunts and abuse by pupils at the school. This mainly took the form of oral abuse,
including the use of words such as “dyke”. These incidents were reported to the headteacher,
who told her that taunts from pupils were an accepted part of the job and she was in the
wrong job. The abuse continued and Olivia took sick leave suffering from stress. She never
returned to w ork and eventually had to take ill-health retirement.

scenarios/

Next is gender equality. Gender equality, also known as sexual equity, is the state of equal ease of
access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender. It also includes the state of valuing different
behaviors, and aspirations. Example of this is the existence of gendered comfort room.
Participatory development is also included in the principles of action. As to the definition of Tekman
et al. 2012, participatory development elicits the involvement of local population in creating policies and in
planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating development programs and projects that are designed
to empower and help people make effective choices. One concrete example of participatory development
is the attendance and participation of the community during meetings and assemblies.
To sum up, community action initiatives must be guided by principles and core values of social
justice, human rights, gender equality, and participatory development. These community actions have a
purpose, which is to enable people to work in solidarity in addressing social problems. However, it is
important to involve the Filipino youth in addressing these issues so that their communities may benefit
from their contributions, ideas, and energies. By the participation of the youth it can help organize, identify
and remove practices that hinder them to participate in community development initiative. Doing so will
allow the transition from non-participatory practices toward a more meaningful and higher level of youth
participation.

Lesson 2: Empowerment and Advocacy of Community-Action Initiatives
• Analyze strategies of empowerment and advocacy of a

Learning community action initiative HUMMS_CSC1 II 1 )
.( 2- Ih -j- 5
Competency
Empowerment is a capacity of individuals to make choices that can produce the desired changes in
their social, economic, and political lives. It is important that people be empowered so that they will not be
depending on others for charity. Empowerment, in varying degrees, also involves the interplay between the
agency and the opportunity structure. Furthermore, empowerment encompasses 1) having the ability to
make one’s own decisions, to control, to gain further control, to fight for one’s rights, and to say something
and be listened to; and 2) being free, independent, recognized and accepted as equal citizens, who can
make a difference (WHO 2010). These are the strategies of empowerment: self confidence, positivity,
meditation, the people around you and priorities.
Advocacy, on the other hand, involves fighting for the rights of others and having their concerns
addressed by targeting people in position of power. It is an act of supporting a cause. There are three
types of advocacy: systematic, individual, and self-advocacy. Systems advocacy focuses on effort that shall
change policies at the local, national, or international levels so that lasting changes will be brought to the
lives of groups or individuals who share similar problems. Individual advocacy focuses on efforts that will
change the situation of an individual and protect his or her right. And lastly Self-advocacy focuses on
strengthening an individual’s ability to communicate with other people, and at the same time persuading
and convincing the individual to address his or her own needs and rights. What is common among these
advocacies is their goal of changing the status quo by targeting decision-makers, leaders, or policymakers
who can affect positive change. Lastly, advocacy work requires a carefully detailed advocacy campaign,
which follows a cyclical procedure:
 Identifying a priority problem

 Gathering information
 Developing achievable aims and objectives
 Identifying the level of advocacy
 Identifying target people or groups
 Developing advocacy messages
 Identifying allies
 Identifying available resources
 Creating an action plan
 Monitoring and evaluating advocacy work.
Advocacy strategies:
 Raising public awareness
 Use the media
 Eight questions that will guide your advocacy strategy
 Remember the relationship between online and offline activities.
98
 Consider the impact.
 Ensure your action step is front and center.
 Contact in the best way possible.
 Keep your friends close.
 Be crystal clear.
 Continuously grow your supporter list
However, aside from human beings, it is also possible to have an advocacy on other beings such as
plants and animals, especially when their existence is endangered or threatened by human acts.

My name is Zolekha
My name is Zolekha Khatun and I am 18 years old. I

live with my 6 sisters and my parents,
In a village of Gaibandha districts.
I have a vision impairment and when I was a child, My
parents tried to support me as much as they could.
When I first started going to school,
The teacher said that I wouldn’t be able to read or write.
He said, ‘There’s nothing here for you.’
But I told them that I’d memorize it and I managed to keep going, up to grade 4. The
other students at the school wouldn’t call me by my name at all.
Instead day called me ‘kana’ which is very negative slang word for a person who is blind.
My friends would often say that I was too much of a burden to go out with them.
They didn’t want to have to do things like help me with steps.
They would say, Hey!, why do you want to come with us?
You will just cause problems!
They had negative attitude towards me,
I am involved in a self help group, with 12 other people,
And two of us have received some training
Because of the training I save enough money to get some ducklings,
Then when they are old enough, I sold them and brought a cow.
My family now earns a little from the milk we sell. I
used to be very shy and quite,
But now because of the training I am not afraid to talk to anybody.
I realize that we are all human and no one should be afraid to anyone else.
We received training about our rights, as people with disabilities.
Before, we didn’t know about things like social security, or our legal rights.
And, out of the 12 of us in the group,
11 didn’t have official disability documentation which allows access to government benefits.
We confronted the deputy director of the district social service office.
And he finally gave us a commitment to give us the card.
When I think about my future, ill be ok, as long as my cow is generating an income.
I’d also love to learn Braille so that I could read and write.
Because if I go anywhere, and somebody ask me,
I’d be able to write my parents name and also my address. I
13
could even get a job sowing, or work with a computer.
Is there any limit of what I could do?
1. What features of individual empowerment can you find in Zolekha’s story?
2. Discuss Zolekha’s social participation, education experiences, and livelihood. What care and support
did Zolekha receive (or not) from her family and the community?
3. At the end of the video, Zolekha asks,”Is there no limit to the things I can do?” What role did
advocacy organizations play in Zolekha’s story? How did their collective stand create change?
4. How can we support Zolekha and her families, friends and teachers?
5. How can we advocate for inclusive change in the way that organizations work?
.
Reflection:
What significant learning did you gain from the topic (Empowerment and Advocacy)?

Lesson 3: Participatory Development in Community-Action Initiatives
Learning • Explain the importance of commitment and action in participatory

Competency development for community well- being. (HUMSS_CSC12IIIh-j-16)
Participatory development has become widespread as one of the established community-action

initiatives to achieve a self-reliant community and sustainable growth and development across the political
spectrum. This approach aims to empower individuals by providing equal and appropriate opportunities
and allowing them to take part in the development process. Also, the social movement and institutional
perspectives are being used to clearly define the ideas of participatory development.
The concept of participatory development is essential, particularly in the Philippine setting,

considering that we are a developing country. Hence, the need for the locals especially the marginalized to
join in the development process is vital to improve their quality of life. Furthermore, participatory
development, once achieved, could redound to a more meaningful partnership from the higher hierarchy
down to grass root level.
The government including the Non-Government Organizations have made an effort to introduce
participation on programs such as poverty alleviation, agrarian reform, solid waste management, medical
missions, and other relevant activities that further addresses the problems inside the community. "When
people share a strong sense of community they are motivated and empowered to change problems they
face, and are better able to mediate the negative effects over things which they have no control," Chavis et
al., (1990, p. 73) write. Moreover, "a sense of community is the glue that can hold together a community
development effort" (Chavis et al., 1990, p. 73-74). This concept suggests that programs that "...foster
membership, increase influence, meet needs, and develop a shared emotional connection among
community members" (Chavis et al.,1990, p. 73) can serve as catalysts for change and for engaging
individuals and the community in health decision-making and action.
Let’s try to understand deeper about participatory development by answering series of activities.

Environmental groups raise alarm on Nickelodeon threat to sustainability of Palawan
Manila – Environmental groups, together with members of the academe and representatives from
Palawan, called for intensified efforts to safeguard the sustainability and environmental viability of Palawan
in light of apparent lobby efforts to push through with plans for a Nickelodeon theme park in Coron. The
groups blasted corporate collusion with some government agencies that threatens the environment.
This came a few days after Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Wanda Tulfo Teo said in an
interview on CNN Philippines that the controversial project would “push through.”
The groups sent a letter to the DOT reiterating their opposition to the project, on behalf of the more
than a quarter million signatories in the online petition site Bataris.org.ph.
The letter reminded the agency of the Tourism Act of 2009, which states that the agency should
‘promote a tourism industry that is ecologically sustainable, responsible, participative, culturally sensitive,
economically viable and ethically and socially equitable for local communities,’ and how the proposed
project and “the excitement of DOT Secretary Teo clearly goes against this mandate.”
“The DOT cannot promote a project that destroys the very attraction you are promoting, which is the
beauty of the healthy marine ecosystem of Coron, among others,” the group said in the letter.
While Teo said Coral World Philippines (CWP) personally assured her that the project will not cause
irreparable damage to Coron’s marine ecosystem, particularly its coral reefs, the group told Teo that “we
cannot risk any of the potential damage that the Attraction would cause on what we consider as the last
ecological frontier of the Philippines.” The groups find it distressing that Teo made a public endorsement
without undertaking environmental impact studies or any scientific basis to rule out the damage that the
proposed attraction would wreak.
18
Signatories of the letter include Greenpeace Philippines, Save Philippine Seas, Conservation
International Philippines, Environmental Legal Assistance Center (ELAC), among others.
“The people in the Philippines and all over the world do not want an artificial structure built in
Palawan, the country’s last ecological frontier. For us, Palawan is beautiful as it is,” said Anna Oposa, co-
founder of Save Philippine Seas.
Meanwhile, Greenpeace Philippines said the situation is another example of corporate interest and
profiteers seeking to trash and destroy the environment for money that will only benefit the few.
“Even if the developer says the structures will be floating, these will still be anchored somewhere
and potentially destroy. Again, we are faced with the dilemma of putting profit over our environment and
the rights of our people. When will we ever learn?” said Vince Cinches, Oceans Campaigner of Greenpeace.
On January 9, 2017, Viacom International Media Networks, the global media company that owns
Nickelodeon, announced its plan to build a tourist attraction in Coron, Palawan, with CWP as the project’s
developer. According to the original press release, the structure would “feature one-of-its-kind resort
dining experience with CWP’s trademark underwater restaurants and lounges, which will be located about
20 feet below sea level with vivid views of the world beneath the ocean.”[2]
The proposal immediately met strong opposition from individuals and environmental NGOs. The
Bataris petition gathered over 200,000 online signatures within a few days, with the
#CoronisnotBikiniBottom trending on various social media channels for several days.
Despite this, CWP submitted a letter of intent to invest in Coron to its Mayor, Jerry Barracoso, on
January 25. On January 27, CWP’s Marketing Director, Susan Lee, told the environmental news portal
Mongabay that the master plan would be published “in another two months.”
More than four months later, the master plan has not been made available to the public, nor to the
local government
“Building a structure in Palawan needs to go through due process. In addition to securing permits
from the local government, the developers also need to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment,
secure an Environmental Compliance Certificate from the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources; clearance from the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development, a multi-sectoral and
intergovernmental body mandated to enforce Republic Act 7611 or the Strategic Environmental Palawan
(SEP) Act; and clearance from the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, because Coron and
Calamianes Islands are ancestral domain,” emphasized Atty. Gerthie Mayo-Anda, Executive Director of
ELAC Palawan.
The proposed structure could also have negative environmental impacts. “There are at least two
coral species in Coron and Busuanga that are globally endangered,” said Dr. Wilfredo Licuanan, coral reef
scientist. “The proposed structure could restrict access of local people to marine resources, affect other
19
marine habitats such as seagrass meadows and mangrove forests, and affect ecosystem services that they
provide.”

Competency values and principles. (HUMSS_CSC12IId- g-11)
Community-Action Initiatives is an effort to involve residents, local groups and other organizations
pursue common goals as guided by the core values and principles of community engagement, solidarity,
and citizenship. Putting the people together makes a community prosper because we allow them in the
creation, designing, and implementing varied programs and activities for the benefit of all. The concept of
human rights, social justice, empowerment and advocacy, participatory development, and gender
development are vital to strengthen our knowledge on how community works.
In the past lessons, we have learned the importance of community-action as a way to solve issues in
our communities and those affecting the marginalized group of people. The different initiatives undertaken
in every corner of our community have transcended beyond the unraveling of the problems of human
rights, social equity, gender equality, and participatory development.
As a member of the youth sector, you are presumed to be the “hope of nation”. As such you must
actively take part in all the affairs of your community. By doing so, you are not just contributing to the
success of your community but for the entire community as well. The need to engage yourself into different
projects whether it is a long-term or short-term is indispensable which could radiate positivity among all
the youth in your community. Furthermore, you should also be the first one to initiate projects. Thinking of
what project that can be done in your community? Are you planning for a long-term or a short-term
project? Short-term projects take a few hours, days, or weeks to complete. Long-term projects take months
or even years to finish. Sometimes that action needs to be confrontational, to improve the lot of one group
relative to another, and sometimes it needs to be conciliatory, taking down the walls and bringing people
together as equals.
Let us try to activate your views about community-action initiatives by doing this set of activities.

Lesson 1: Methodologies and Approaches in Community Action
Learning • Explain the methodologies, and approaches in community action.

Competency
Methodologies and approaches in community action will help you understand the purpose of each
phase and its implication to the society such as partnership and how it promotes development to the
community as a whole.
The following are the phases of Community Action:
 Establishing links and partnership building with local groups
Establishing links is a process of identifying and locating different actors and players
within a community who share a common interest, purpose and goals.
Individual engaged in the different types of partnership depends on their goals and
interests. For example if you participate in community activities, that is a community-based
partnership, another type of partnership is the government-based, wherein the individual
engaged in the activities of the government as a stakeholder, and lastly, the faith-based.
Coordination, cooperation,collaboration and partnership are just some of the methods and
approaches in building partnership.
 Community profiling
Social research method which involves building up a picture of the nature, needs and
resources of a locality or community, with the active participation of its members, he aim
being to create and implement an action plan to address the issues unearthed. It matters
that you know who are living in the community for you to assess what type of community
you have.
 Needs and resource assessment
It is used to assess the resources or skills that exist among the people or communities
with which a project plans to work. For eaxample, before you formulate an action plan, you
have to assess the needs of the community.
 Participatory action planning and leadership development
It is a process by which a community undertakes to reach a given socio-economic
goal by consciously diagnosing its problems and charting a course of action to resolve those
problems. Experts are needed, but only as facilitators. As a sequence in undertaking
participatory planning, the group involve themselves in gathering information, consultation,
deciding together, acting together, and support independent community initiatives.
 Resource mobilization
35
It is the process of getting resources from the resource provider, using different
mechanism, to implement an organization’s predetermined goals. Example, you are going to
look possible stakeholders/organizations that could help you provide the necessary needs in
your action plan.
 Plan implementation
It is designed to document, in detail, the critical steps necessary to put your solutions
into practice. It is a step-by-step list of task with assigned owners and due dates, and helps
the project team stay on track. For example, you have to make a timeline for the activity.
 Monitoring and evaluation
Used to assess the performance of projects, institutions and programme set up by
governments, international organizations and NGO’s. Its goal is to improve current and
future management of outputs, outcomes and impact. For example, evaluate and monitor
how far have you gone with your plan.

Lesson 6: Systematic Methods of Community Action in Understanding
Community
Learning • Apply systematic methods of community action in understanding

Competency community.

Community action is an alternative research method that uses the community as the unit of analysis.
This approach forges research alliances with relevant stakeholders in the community to explore and
develop solutions to local problems. Community action includes a broader range of activities and is
sometimes describe as “social action” or ‘community engagement’ that increases the understanding,
engagement and empowerment of communities in the design and delivery of local services including:
 Building community and social capacity-helping the community to share skills and ideas.
 Community resilience-helping the community to support itself.
 Prevention- a focus on early access to services or support, engagement in design, cross-sector
collaboration and partnerships.
 Maintaining and creating wealth- for example helping people into employment or developing
community enterprise.
Action research makes a reasonable resolution or accurate evaluation more probable in two ways. First,
by involving the people directly affected by the issue or intervention, it brings to bear the best information
available about what’s actually happening. Second, it encourages community buy-in and support for
whatever plans or interventions are developed. If people are involved in the implementation of solutions to
community issues, they’ll feel they own the process, and work to make it successful. (e.g. community
engagement in decision making- through public engagement events where the community helps to decide
local priorities, co- design or co-commission services).
In the previous lesson we discussed the different methodologies and approaches in community action
in understanding community. A researcher conducting community action should apply systematic methods
to understand community such as partnership, community profiling which is a process of creating a series
of information that is applied to something or someone through techniques of date elaborations, needs
assessment, participatory action planning, resource mobilization, implementation plan, and monitoring and
evaluation.
It is also figured out by tapping the participatory and interactive process between the community and
the support groups or institutions.
Another method to be used in conducting community action is the need assessment that identifies the
strengths, weakness, needs, and resources which could help tear down the barriers and resistances that
prevent the community from achieving their goals. Community profiling and needs assessment are the
most basic methods used in conducting community action.
This toolkit provides guidance for conducting assessments of community needs and
resources.
43
1. Describe the makeup and history of the community to provide a context within which to collect data on
its current concerns.
a. Comment on the types of information that best describes the community (e.g., demographic,
historical, political, civic participation, key leaders, past concerns, geographic, assets)
b. Describe the sources of information used (e.g., public records, local people, internet, maps,
phone book, library, newspaper)
c. Comment on whether there are sufficient resources (e.g., time, personnel, resources) available
to collect this information
d. Assess the quality of the information
e. Describe the strengths and problems you heard about
2. Describe what matters to people in the community, including a description of:
a. Issues that people in the community care about (e.g., safety, education, housing, health)
b. How important these issues are to the community (e.g., perceived importance, consequences
for the community)
c. Methods the group will (did) use to listen to the community (e.g., listening sessions,
public forums, interviews, concerns surveys, focus groups)
3. Describe what matters to key stakeholders, including:
a. Who else cares about the issue (the stakeholders) and what do they care about?
b. What stakeholders want to know about the situation (e.g., who is affected, how many,
what factors contribute to the problem)
c. Prioritized populations and subgroups that stakeholders intend to benefit from the effort
d. Methods you will (did) use to gather information (e.g., surveys, interviews)
4. (For each candidate problem/goal) Describe the evidence indicating whether the problem/goal should
be a priority issue, including:
a. The community-level indicators (e.g., rate of infant deaths or vehicle crashes) related to the issue
b. How frequently the problem (or related behavior) occurs (e.g., number of youth reporting
alcohol use in the past 30 days)
c. How many people are affected by the problem and the severity of its effects
d. How feasible it is to address the issue
e. Possible impact and/or consequences of addressing the problem/goal
5. Describe the barriers and resources for addressing the identified issue(s), including:
a. Barriers or resistance to solving the problem or achieving the goal (e.g., denial or discounting of
the problem) and how they can be minimized (e.g., reframing the issue)
b. What resources and assets are available and how the group can tap into those resources to
address the issue
44
c. Community context or situation that might make it easier or more difficult to address this issue.
To build effective community partnership, first, you have to connect with leaders at partner
organizations
to promote engagement to a community with the same mind set. Define and prioritize your goal make sure
that goals and directives are clearly defined so everyone is on the same page. Build new partner
relationships and strengthen long-standing ones. Lastly, ensure screening and referral protocols are
seamless, designate a person or group to take ownership of resource collection so team members know
who to talk to for those concerns. There are seven steps for conducting a successful needs assessment: (1.)
Clearly define your needs assessment objectives, when defining objectives, ask yourself why are you
conducting the needs assessment and what do you plan to do with the findings. (2.) Be realistic about your
resources and capacity. Consider how much time, money and staff capacity you can devote to the needs
assessment. The availability of resources will greatly impact the needs assessment activities you are able to
conduct. (3.) Identify the target audiences and data sources. Given your objectives and resources, consider
the target audiences and data resources that will help you assess your needs. Consider, also, the competing
priorities of your target audience and how to encourage them to participate in your needs assessment.(4.)
Think small and big when summarizing results. Upon collecting the necessary data to your needs
assessment, it’s time to dig in to that data, try to summarize and reflect on data for each of your needs
assessment objectives individually. (5.) Get feedback, it is important to engommunity members as equal
partners in understanding and translating results from the needs assessment. This ensures that the people
most affected by the program will have power in determining its design. (6.) Disseminate- this helps ensure
that the project stakeholders are on the same page regarding project priorities and resource allocation and
present your finding internally and externally.
(7.) Take action. At the conclusion of the needs assessment process, review your original objectives with
the final results and recommendations. Doing so will highlight what steps are needed to achieve your goals
and most importantly, take action and use those findings to develop your project approaches.
In Participatory action planning it is grounded in the belief that blending local knowledge and expert
knowledge leads to strong outcomes. Here are the steps how we implement participatory action plannin;
(1) Launch- establish a partnership with local stakeholders and lay out an action plan. (2) Understand-
Create a diagnostic portrait of the use of public space. (3) Explore- Identify design scenarios that will meet
needs and resolve issues.(4) Decide- with the various stakeholders, validate and improve upon the
developed solutions. (5) Act- implement the design solutiopns and advocate for citizen vision. (6)
Inaugurate-celebrate the project’s accomplishment.
Tools/Steps for Resource Mobilization:
1. Submitting proposals to typical donor agency is the most conventional way of getting support.
2. Organizing fundraising events where you invite guests and request donations for your organization.
3. Donation boxes where you request small amounts of money from public.
4. Collecting in-kind contribution such as used clothes, books, etc.
5. Volunteer support where volunteers provide their time and resources to support the work organization.
6. Income from busines-oriented projects of your organization like selling publications, offering
consultancies, microfinance, or micro-enterprise-based activites.
All the above listed types of support are essential for NGO’s though all of them do not contribute equally
45
to the funding needs of an organization.

• Formulate a community action (HUMSS_CSC12-Iva-d-19)
Competency
Community action is any activity that increases the understanding, engagement and empowerment
of communities in the design and delivery of local services. It also includes a broad range of activities and is
sometimes described as 'social action' or 'community engagement'. These activities can vary in their
objective, the role the community plays, the types of activities involved, their scale and their integration
within the council. What they have in common is that they all involve greater engagement of local citizens
in the planning, design and delivery of local services.
A community action plan is a road map for implementing community change by identifying and
specifying WHAT will be done, Who will do it and HOW it will be done. In other words, the action plan
describes what the community wants to accomplish, what activities are required during a specified timeline
and what resources (money, people and materials) are needed to be successful. The community action plan
shall become a framework for implementing sustainable sanitation and water management activities that
are decided by the community itself. It is important to emphasise that the community members should be
the main actors in preparing their own community action plan regarding sanitation and water
management.
In writing/ crafting a community action plan these are things to be considered:
What are needed in writing an action plan

1. A clear vision
2. A set of values
3. The strategic framework
4. An overall goal
Elements of an Action Plan

Lesson 8: Plan Using Participatory Approach
Learning • Plan using participatory approaches (HUMS_ CSC12-Iva-d-19)

Competency
A participatory planning process - one in which all the stakeholders are involved - is often the most
effective and inclusive way to plan a community intervention. A participatory process provides community
ownership and support of the intervention; information about community history, politics, and past
mistakes; and respect and a voice for everyone. It also takes time, care, mutual respect, and commitment.
1. You have to carefully consider what level of participation is most appropriate under the
circumstances.
2. You also must identify the stakeholders, and make sure they all get to the table,
using communication techniques designed to reach them.
Examples of Participatory Approaches
1. Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA). RRAs were designed to collect first-hand data from the
local people about their perceptions of their local environments and living conditions in
rural areas. RRAs were usually conducted as 1-3 days workshops with villagers in the
field and facilitated by small teams of RRA specialists or researchers. RRA methods were
specifically adapted to respond to local conditions. For example if someone
working on an aquaculture project they may use the guidelines as they are planning
their investigation: a. structured but flexible- careful planning, clear objectives, the right
balance of people involved and a good choice of tools and techniques to be used
b. integrated and interdisciplinary-helps outsiders to learn about rural conditions by
looking at many points of view.
c. awareness of bias-avoid biases by being aware and systematic in taking into account
different point of view and sets of interest
d. accelerating in the planning process-information produced is analyzed on the spot
and presented by planners which is understood by local people themselves
e. interaction with and learning from local people-involve, listen and learn from people
f. combination of different tools-uses combination of communication and learning tools
allowing people to present their knowledge, concerns and priorities to outsiders
g. iterative- what has been learnt is constantly reviewed and analyzed in the field.
2. Participatory Rural Appraisals (PRA). PRAs use similar methods and tools as RRA, but
the most important principles in PRA was the sharing of results of analysis, decisions and
planning efforts among the community members by open and public presentation
during meetings. PRAs strongly supported and facilitated the introduction of more
demand- responsive ways of managing development interaction, and process-oriented
thinking. Examples: Surveying and sampling, Focus group discussions, community
mapping etc.
3. Participatory and Integrated Development (PID). In order to overcome the casual
58
application of participatory methods here and there, PID seeks to include workshops and their results in a
broader, long-term frame of institutionalized activities. PID means offering facilitation support to locals
(such as villages, communities, interest groups, associations etc.) on a demand responsive basis, and
assisting them in getting their interests represented. For example, getting grassroots level planning and
action integrated into local and regional planning approaches. This leads to a more sustainable and
better coordinated way of
development. In addition to this vertical integration. Finally, the process must be
maintained over time, so that momentum will not be lost. If you can manage a planning
process that meets all these requirements, the chances are that you will come up with a
successful community intervention, one that truly works and meets the community's
needs.
W H AT A RE TH E A D VA NT A G E S O F A P A R T IC I PA TO R Y PL AN N I N G A P P R O AC H?
Participation carries with it feelings of ownership, and builds a strong base for the intervention in
the community. If people are integral to the planning of a community intervention, then that
intervention will be theirs. They have a stake in it not only as its beneficiaries or staff or sponsors,
but as its originators. They'll do what they can to see their work succeed.
It ensures that the intervention will have more credibility in all segments of the community because
it was planned by a group representing all segments of the community. If people know that others
with the same point of view and experience as theirs were instrumental in making the intervention
happen, they'll assume that their interests were attended to.
Bringing a broader range of people to the planning process provides access to a broader range of
perspectives and ideas.
A participatory planning approach avoids pitfalls caused by ignorance of the realities of the
community
or the target population. If, for instance, Muslims are part of the planning process for an
intervention in a community which includes many followers of Islam, they'll know that lunch
meetings during Ramadan, the Islamic month of daytime fasting, are not likely to work. Long-
time community members will know what has failed in the past, and why, and can keep the group
from repeating past mistakes.
It involves important players from the outset. If the intervention needs the support of a particular
individual, or that of a particular agency or group, and they've been part of the planning from the
beginning, their cooperation is assured.
It can provide an opportunity for often-disenfranchised groups to be heard, and teach the
community that they have important things to say.
It teaches skills which last far beyond the planning process, and can help to improve the community
over the long term. People learn to run meetings, to analyze data, to construct strategic plans - in
short, to become community resources and leaders.
It can bring together and establish ties among community members who might normally have no
contact. Such relationships - between low-income people and business leaders, for instance - are
not only supportive of the intervention, but may help to create long-term relationships and break
down barriers in the community.
A participatory planning process builds trust, both between your organization and the community
and among the individuals involved. This trust can serve as a foundation for future community
development and community action.
A participatory planning process generally reflects the mission and goals of grass roots and
59
community-based organizations. With its underpinnings of collaboration, inclusiveness, and
empowerment, a participatory approach embodies the ideals that form the foundations of most
grass roots and community-based organizations.
60
It implies respect for everyone in the community, and thus sets a standard for community
participation and empowerment that other organizations - and the community at large - may feel
compelled to follow.
Logically, a participatory planning approach should be effective. The fact that it includes the views
and perspectives of everyone affected by the intervention should work to assure that all assets and
needs are identified and addressed, and that unintended consequences are minimized.
Finally, it does things the way they should be done. It respects everyone's intelligence, values
everyone's ideas and experience, and affords everyone a measure of control. By empowering the
community, and particularly the target population, rather than just superimposing its own ideas on
a social structure that already exists, your organization can give substance to its ideals. In the final analysis,
some level of participatory approach is almost always the most ethical way to plan a community
intervention.
W H AT A RE TH E DI S A D V AN TA G E S O F A PA RT IC IP AT O R Y P L A N NI N G A P P R
O AC H?
It's crucial to understand and anticipate these considerations, and to decide when and how a participatory
planning approach can work in your situation.
A participatory process takes longer. A diverse group always takes longer to make decisions and
come to conclusions than does an individual or small group.
Members of the target population or the community may not agree with the "experts " about what
is needed.
Education may be needed, for community members and the organization. Members of the target
population and the community may not have important technical knowledge or experience, and
may need to understand some theory or past practice in order to see what the organization is trying
to do. Some may need new skills in order to participate fully in the planning process. The
organization, on the other hand, may need to learn more about local culture, political issues, and
community history in order to tailor the intervention to the community and avoid past errors.
Education takes time.
One determined individual can wreck the whole process if he's not handled well. Someone who has
a particular axe to grind, or who's convinced that only he knows what's right for the community can
make a participatory process very difficult. Handling this situation can take both tact and toughness.
It may be difficult to assure that all the right people get to the table. Some key people may simply
not want to participate. Factions in the community, a history of failed attempts at communication
or at dealing with problems, ignorance of which groups or individuals are important, or just basic
mistrust may complicate the task of creating a participatory planning process. Overcoming this
barrier, however, can have profound positive consequences in the community over the long term.
A participatory planning process takes patience and commitment on everyone's part. People have
to maintain their commitment over time, remain civil while discussing issues about which they may
have strong feelings, and be willing to compromise. A few misplaced words, or one or a small
number of key people losing interest can upset the whole process.
While these disadvantages present potential or real challenges to the success of a participatory planning
process, overcoming them may tremendously increase the possibility of designing and carrying out an
effective community intervention.

Lesson 10: Community Action Plan
Learning • Explain the importance of commitment and action in participatory

Competency development for community well- being. (HUMSS_CSC12IIIh-j-16)

 Planning is essential and strategic for any organization. With planning, organizations and communities
become reflexive, dynamic, responsive, and systematic in achieving their vision.
 Community action refers to the collective efforts done by the people directed toward addressing social
problems, (e.g., social inequalities, environmental degradation, and poverty) in order to achieve social
well-being.
 Community engagement refers to the process of developing partnerships and sustaining relationships
with and through groups of people affiliated by geographic proximity or common interests for the
purpose of working for the common good and of addressing issues that affect their well-being.
What is Community Action Plan?
The community action plan is one of the participatory tools used to build the capacity of community
members in taking action in accordance with the problems, needs, and potential of the community.
The community action plan should become a framework for implementing the activities that are decided
by
the community itself. The focus is more on the process of understanding and overcoming problems in order
to rebuild the people's lives rather than just physical development such as building houses, providing clean
water or toilet facilities. It is important to understand that the community should be the main actors in
preparing their own community action plan. Producing the action plan helps people to take realistic and
concrete steps toward participatory development planning in order to improve the sanitation and water
system. By bringing everyone together to think and discuss about resources and group involvement, this
tool increases awareness.
Social Science research is fuelled by the desire to find out what makes people tick. There are several diverse
fields that comprise the Social Sciences, including anthropology, economics, sociology, and psychology.
Social scientists use a range of methods in order to examine the phenomena that relate to their field, and
the different methods of carrying out social science research often form the foundation for research in
other linked disciplines as well, such as political science, market research, and media studies.
There are two broad primary categories that comprise social science research.
These are the Quantitative and Qualitative Design Methods.

The methods used in the Quantitative Design category most often rely on statistical analysis, such as the
analysis of numerical data to establish a hypothesis that is provable by mathematical or statistical means.
Experiments use a standard format to generate a hypothesis, provable by mathematical and statistical
methods. Methods used in Qualitative Design rely on direct observation or communication with the
participants or the analysis of words, objects, or artifacts. These are methods to study the behavior and
habits
72
of the participants.
 Quantitative Design Methods
Experimental – This can be understood as the manipulation of independent variables in each experiment,
in
order to generate statistically analyzable data which can be easily understood, such as interpreting a
census or an FBI national crime report. The analysis of this type of statistical study can be best applied
when social scientists attempt to explain the voting habits of citizens in high crime areas, for example.
Sampling – This is information gathering such as through surveys, opinion polling, questionnaires, or focus
groups. These types of research methods can provide the information sought by corporations to help them
decide how to structure advertising campaigns to sell their products or to help politicians to understand the
desires of their constituencies so they can incorporate the information into election campaigns or policy-
making strategies.
 Qualitative Design Methods

Observational – This is the observation of phenomena with a minimum of interference, such as case studies
or key informant interviews.
Historical – This includes the researching of historical records such as birth certificates and death
certificates or the collection of data through documentation of primary sources, secondary sources,
running records, and recollections.
Photographs, videos, sound recordings – This is the collection and assembling of visual and audible
artifacts, such as old family photos, videos, films of war scenes, or audio memoirs and testaments.

1. Community action includes a broad range of activities and is sometimes described as ‘social action'
or ‘community engagement'.
2. The community action plan defines what the community fails to achieve, how they are going to
achieve it, and what resources they need in order to successfully achieve it.
3. Action planning is important because it provides a reference point with a vague time line and
assignment of accountability for accomplishing tasks along the path to making a difference.
4. Communication is paramount to continued support and commitment within all sectors of the
community.
5. Action planning is important because it provides a reference point with a detailed time line and
