Community Organizing
Organizing is people working together to get things done.
B. Entry Phase
C. Helping Phase
D. Phase Out
A. Pre-entry Phase
this phased also known as project site selection. The conduct of
preliminary social analysis of the community is needed to be able to plan
the most effective way of entering the community.
1. Preparation of criteria and guidelines for area selection
Criteria for Selection.
a. Local leaders and community are receptive/ supportive this is most
important for sustainability.
b. Community Organizing can serves as a model for elimination/ reduction
of disease this is important for application by others
c. Area must have relatively high prevalence of disease but not
necessarily the highest this is important for optimum use for limited
resources.
Phases in guidelines preparation
a. Piloting standardization of basic activities and tools based
on small-scale implementation of project.
- identifying contacts
- core group information
- start-up activities
b. Implementation of activities standardization of
comprehensive line of activities for large scale
implementation.
- KAP surveys
- development of advocacy/ IEC materials (
workshop/ trimedia/ production)
- community organizing
- training of health workers
- building of family competencies
- mass treatment
- monitoring and evaluation
2. Identification of target area the possible target
area must be able to provide information relevant to the
criteria provided.
3. Assessment of target area conduct community
profile to have an initial impression of the barangay based
on the criteria set. It will also serve as a means to get to
know other people in the area and to identify contacts.
B. Entry Phase
This is also known as social preparation of community. It is considered crucial
because the success of later activities depend largely on the community
organizers (CO) extent of integration with the people, her/his understanding
of the events in the community, and how she/he identified by the people.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths: like human/ material resources
Weaknesses: like lack of trained manpower
Opportunities: like support from LGUs, NGOs and GOs
Threats: like implementation problem.
2. Core group formation
Formation of groups who will organize the community, develop, sustain
planned activities after phase out.
3. Community planning
Formulation of measures to address the problem in a systemic and
sequential process.
4. Implementation
Series of activities designed to address concerns that affect the health
and lives of the people in a community; this is consistent with the
community health plan.
5. Monitoring and Evaluation
It is needed not only to improve particular actions for specific settings but
also to gain knowledge for expanded action. It also requires innovative
use or reformulation of existing methods and tools not previously given
much attention.
D. Phase Out
This phase could mean that a program is already community-managed.
Facilitators ( or outsiders) withdraw from self-reliant groups who will now
continue to implement the cycle of direction setting, organizing, planning,
implementation, and review for the benefit of the community members.
Determining factors to ensure sustainability
1. Structure refers to the organizational structures both in the
partnerships and in the communities. The capability of the people and the
viability of the organization as a whole will greatly influence sustainability.
2. Skills development and technology transfer the skills required to
carry out the project activities must be fully developed and integrated in
the partnership before the end of the project life. This should be
preserved in the memory of the organization which eventually help
sustainability.
3. Systems it includes the systems and procedures needed to formulate
policies, plan and make decisions on the day-to-day operation system.
Consensus among the members and their responsiveness to the changing
times will determine the prospects of sustainability.
4. Commitment participation in planning and decision making fosters
greater commitment in the community. This is because it gives
community members a true sense of ownership of the program as well as
a sense of self- respect that flows from self-governance.
When to Phase Out
1. When the objectives have been attained.
2. When the impact of the project has become visible or change has been made.
3. When the members of the community can take over the planning,
implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the project.
