About this title

Synopsis

This is a "how-to" book, intended for community mobilisers who want to stimulate social change in a community to work towards poverty eradication, good governance, increased transparency -- in short community empowerment. This book identifies key steps in the community mobilisation process; it stresses the role and responsibility of the community leader or coordinator of an activity, community networks and other Civil Society groups, including local citizens. This book examines the theory of group dynamics, advocacy, social mobilisation and grassroots communications. The major objective of the book is to enhance knowledge and skills among students, development workers, managers and support agencies on the management of Community Based Organizations (CBO) as basic civil society units for realizing community transformation and sustainable development.
