COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN

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 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 emphasize that the community members should be the main actors in preparing
their own community action plan regarding sanitation and water management.
