CAPACITY STRENGTHENING TOOL

How to Mobilize Communities for Health and Social Change

Adapting the traditional Community Action Cycle to incorporate elements of Partnership Defined Quality, this comprehensive package offers a hybrid model for community mobilization in South Sudan. The approach brings local populations and health service providers together to jointly identify, prioritize, and solve barriers to accessing reproductive health and family planning services. The resource collection features a detailed facilitator manual, a participant workbook, and three specialized implementation toolkits designed for field mobilization teams. Program managers, trainers, and community leaders can utilize these practical guides to build local capacity, foster social accountability, and drive sustained normative change.
