Activity 14- Community Action Plan

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.
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 about the skills and resources already
available in the community.
