Project Implementation
Introduction

 As we work for better service, we should take note that we are

in the community to work “with the people and not for the
people”.

 That as we implement projects, we will work in partnership with

them and look at what do they have to offer so that they may
feel the worth of projects.

 Therefore, they need to identify the need for our projects, and
we work with them, we will be tapping the people’s contribution
to the projects that will be implemented in their barangay.
Community organizing

 is defined as “a continuous and

sustained process of educating people
to understand and develop their critical
awareness of their existing conditions,
working with people collectively and
efficiently on their immediate and
long-term problems, and mobilizing the
people to develop capability and
readiness to respond and take action on
their immediate needs towards solving
their long-term problems” (PCPD 1990).
Understanding “Community”
 A group of people that recognizes itself or is recognized by
outsiders as sharing common geography, cultural, religious or other
social features, backgrounds and interests.
 Communities can be of varying size and include villages, districts,
municipalities, cities, and other entities with some level of defined
boundary.
 Communities can also be dispersed as seen in diasporas, refugee,
and IDP groups.
 Communities will often share some level of collective identity with
shared goals.
 Community can be inclusive and protective of its members, while
being exclusive of others.
Community and Subgroups
 Within community there are often divisions into clans or
castes, social class, language, religion, or other markers
of identity (gender, sexual, age, etc.).

 Community might be socially controlling, making it

difficult for subgroups, particularly minorities and
marginalized groups, to express their opinions and claim
their rights.

 Protection for one group with a community might not

extend to all groups.
Community Organization

 means “the process of bringing about

maintaining adjustment between welfare
needs and social welfare resources in a
geographical area or functional field.
Resources, includes not only agencies and
organizations, but also personnel, physical
equipment, finances, laws, leadership, public
understanding, goodwill, and participation.
Community Organization is dynamic,
pervasive, far reaching process” (ARTHUR
DUNHAM 1943)

 Community Organization
 means process by which a community identifies its needs
or objectives, orders (or ranks) these needs or objectives,
develops the confidence and will to work at these needs
or objectives, finds the resources(internal and/or
external) to deal with these needs or objectives, takes
action in respect to them, and in so doing extends and
develops cooperative and collaboratives attitudes and
practices in the community”(MURRAY G. ROSS, 1955).
Basic Concepts
Aim of community development
and Organization:

 To help the people to acquire a coherent

meaning to life; it leads people to studying,
performing and achieving of a system useful
for the equilibrium and develop of human
being (Andres, 1988)

 Through community development the

people develop a common feeling of solidarity
and become aware that they can achieve
positive change in themselves. (Andres, 1988)
Purpose of Community Organizing

 Man is social being. He cannot develop unless

he is part of society. He must work together
with his fellowmen for common interest. The
problems of other men are his problems.
Together they must search for solutions.
Thus, it is the people of community who
must organize themselves. (Andres, 1988).
Ecological Model
Objectives of Community
Organizing (PCPD, 1990)
 To make people aware of social realities toward
the development of local initiative, optimal use
of human technical and material resources and
strengthening of people’s capabilities.
 To for structure that uphold the people’s basic
interest as oppressed and deprived section of the
community, and as people bound by the interest
to serve the people.
 To initiate responsible actions intended to
address holistically and the various community
health and social problems.
