Methodologies and Approaches of Community Actions

• Partnership building - is a way for your organization to expand its capacity and value across your expanding network of
stakeholders. It is a relationship between individuals, organizations, or groups that is characterized by mutual
cooperation towards the achievement of a specified goal. Partnerships may take several forms and characteristics,
depending on the needs of the strategy and desires of the partners.

• Community profiling – a comprehensive description of the needs of a population that is defined or defines itself, as a
community, and the resources that exist within that community carried out with the active involvement of the
community itself for the purpose of developing an action plan or other means in improving the quality of life within the
community

• Assessment - serves and identifies the available resources to address the unmet needs of the community's most
vulnerable residents. These assessments help determine the underlying causes and conditions of poverty within one’s
community and identify unmet needs. The assessment then guides our work to implement programs that will help our
most vulnerable residents out of poverty.

• Community Action Planning - 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 potentials of the community.

• Resource mobilization - refers to all activities involved in securing new and additional resources for your organization.
It also involves making better use of, and maximizing existing resources.

• Social action -is about people coming together to help improve their lives and solve the problems that are important in
their communities. It involves people giving their time and other resources for the common good, in a range of forms –
from volunteering and community-owned services to community organizations or bayanihan acts.

While many of these activities occur without the support of the public sector (in which case the role of public servants is
to ensure that the right conditions are in place for social action to thrive), some require more specific support from the
public sector.

• Evaluation - There are many good reasons for a community group to evaluate its efforts. When done properly,
evaluation can improve efforts to promote health and development at any level -- from a small local non-profit group to
a state wide or even national effort. Evaluation offers the following advantages for groups of almost any size: Collecting
information about how things are done and its results help us understand how community initiatives develop, offering
lessons other groups can profit from.

• Providing ongoing feedback can improve community work by encouraging continuous adjustments of programs,
policies, and other interventions.

• By involving community members, people who haven't had a voice may gain the opportunity to better understand and
improve local efforts.

• Finally, evaluation can help hold groups accountable to the community and to the grant makers who provide funding.
It can also help hold grant makers accountable to the communities that they serve.
