Community Mobilization

Community mobilization and awareness is an alternative to traditional approaches for development, which prioritizes people at grass root level and prepares them for participation in all type of initiatives. This mechanism is appropriate to ensure the inclusion of the community members’ especially volunteer involvement in the system. Methodologies of the social mobilization such as Participatory Rural Approach, Rapid Rural Approach and Change Agent Programs are practices in order to enhance the participation of community leaders and volunteers in the project.

Community mobilization is a crucial aspect of Sudhaar’s work, focusing on empowering local communities to take ownership of their development. By engaging with community members, leaders, and stakeholders, Sudhaar fosters participation and collective action towards common goals. This approach replicable in all the project, enables communities to identify their needs, prioritize issues, and develop solutions that are contextually relevant and sustainable.

Sudhaar has the experience of social mobilization, creating advocacy and awareness campaigns for the wide spread awareness of community and stakeholders to involve them in all projects on different issues. Social mobilization is undertaken with local community influential and decision makers to involve them through orientation in all the working areas of Sudhaar. Through these awareness activities citizen groups are strengthened to identify the issues and raise demands through developing linkages with elected representatives and public institutions.  The district wise MoU is signed with district government and line departments for the smooth implementation of program activities.

Sudhaar has the experience of creating advocacy and awareness campaigns through the collaboration of different like-minded organization/institutions in its other projects on different issues. Moreover, Sudhaar is already conducting sessions with youth and students, seminars, advocacy campaigns, awareness walks, community meetings, interfaces, FGDs to involve them actively in its initiatives.
