that will give help or assistance in solving the needs of the community. There are
processes and methodologies to be used for the proper conduct of a community action.
What’s In
If residents of your community want to rid of the foully odor of garbage, what
methods, actions, and viable solutions will they possibly adopt?
Brainstorming
Teambuilding
Evaluation tool
Monitoring
Community Resources
Budget
Feasibility Study
Survey
Interview
Stakeholders Profiling
Asking Donations
Reflection:
How did you come up with your ranking? Why you need to know the processes in
conducting a barangay community action?
What’s New
A Community Action should be well planned so that it will achieve the vision of
the community. The needs of the people are already identified through the Needs
Assessment which serves as a guide to what should be done. The first activity gave you
the methodologies that you need so that you can conduct with a community action.
Before you could implement it, you should determine first what are the characteristics
of a community action.
Instructions: Write on the Second Column the words YES if you agree, and NO if you
disagree as responses to the Characteristics of a Community Action mentioned in
each number on the First Column. On the Third Column, indicate the reasons for
agreeing or disagreeing.
Each number will be graded based on the argument you provided for or against each of
the characteristics of the community action of five (5) points. This activity is worth forty-
five (45) points. Use a separate sheet of paper for your answer.
C. Community action refers to such activities which vary in their objectives, the
roles the community plays, the types of activities involved, their scale and their
integration within which the barangay council can back up through the passage
of an ordinance.
Community action is about putting communities at the heart of their own local services.
Involving communities in the design and delivery of services can help achieve a number
of objectives, including:
A. Building community and social capacity – helping the community to share
knowledge, skills and ideas.
B. Community resilience – helping the community to support itself.
C. Prevention – a focus on early access to services or support, engagement in design,
cross-sector collaboration and partnerships.
D. Maintaining and creating wealth – for example helping people into employment
or developing community enterprises.
Methodologies are ways or processes that should be done to come up with a result or
solution to a particular problem or need. Partnership is a collaboration with local groups
that can assist the community to address its needs or concerns and develop community
building.
Partnership and collaboration are two things that work hand in hand to effectively
identify the needs of the community and the actual ways to help in achieving the
expected result or solution. There should be methodologies in dealing with the conduct
of the community action plan study. Since there will be people involved, appropriate
approach highly matters.
In presenting the action plan, local groups in the community can greatly contribute.
They are the support groups. They can extend financial, social, and moral support.
Coalitions are broad groups that bring together people and organizations from
throughout the community, including many groups that may not normally work
together. For example, a coalition working to increase AIDS awareness in the
community might bring together officials from the health department, representatives
from the faith community, young people, business leaders, and members of the GLBT
(gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender) community – group.
What is a Stakeholder?
Uses/Strengths
1.A profile is an effective way of gathering information about the diversity of a
community and the potential stakeholders that may otherwise not be recorded.
2.Profiles can highlight the gaps in our understanding of a community or different
stakeholders and therefore guide future research.
3. Profiles can encourage broader thinking about ‘who’ a community is and ‘who’ is
involved in a project and ‘how’.
4.Profiles can help determine who is likely to be influenced by change or affected by
a project.
5.Developing a profile can be used as a means to develop relationships in a
community/stakeholder group as the understanding is researched and developed
together.
6.The process of profiling can in itself raise awareness, interest and build the
capacity of members in the community.
7.Profiles are a means to gather community intelligence over time as projects
develop and therefore this info can be easily passed on.
5. RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
Mobilization consists of preparatory work and operations necessary for the
movement of personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site; for the
establishment of offices, buildings, and other facilities necessary for the work; for
premiums on bond and insurance for the work; and for other operations.
6. 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
organizing or simple neighborly acts. Whilst 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.
There are several reasons why social action is often the appropriate choice:
• It can empower and energize populations that have traditionally been powerless,
or haven’t understood their potential for exercising power. The experience of
participating in an action – especially if it’s successful – can be uplifting for people
who’ve never thought they could influence the course of events. It can change
the way they look at themselves, and give them a different perspective on what’s
possible. And it can prepare and sustain them for a long struggle to achieve far-
reaching goals.
• It can unify communities. Collective Action brings people together in the way that
many collaborative activities do. It creates a spirit of shared effort and shared
passion, and binds individuals into a community of shared purpose.
• It can demonstrate to the larger community that the organized group is a force
to be reckoned with. People have to respect and deal with its needs and interests,
even if they don’t agree with them.
• It can lead to long-term positive social change. Social action, like other forms of
community organizing, generally has long-term as well as short-term goals. While
the purpose of a particular action might be narrowly defined, the long-term goals
of most organizing are greater equity and social and economic justice. A well-
managed social action campaign that maintains its momentum over the long
haul can result in a truly democratic society, where everyone’s voice counts. Once
again, the prime example in our time was the Civil Rights movement, which,
through action that demonstrated its moral force, moved the whole country to
demand an end to segregation and racism.
Why Evaluate?
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 nonprofit group to a statewide or even national effort. Evaluation
offers the following advantages for groups of almost any size:
• Collecting information about how things are done and the 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.
