 What I Need to Know

LEARNING COMPETENCY:

Explain the methodologies and approaches in community action and apply systematic
methods of community action in undertaking community.
HUMSS_CSC12-IVa-d-17 and HUMSS_CSC12 IVa-d-18

Community action becomes effective if we understand the nature of the social

problem we are dealing with. All the more, it is easy to engage and to take part in
community action if we are guided by methodologies and approaches that will serve
as bases in conducting appropriate community actions. Above all, ethical standard
must be carefully considered to uphold the dignity involved in community action. In
doing so, effective results will be realized if guided by systematic methods so that
social problems will be addressed properly.

At the end of the module, the student should be able to:

a. Define community action;

b. Identify the methodologies and approaches of community actions;
c. Recognize the value of solidarity in undertaking community action; and
d. Show appreciation to the vital role of the youth in community development and
nation-building.

 What is It

Methodologies and Approaches of Community Actions

• Partnership building - is a way for your organization to expand its capacity and value
across your expanding network of stakeholders. It is a relationship between individuals,
organizations, or groups that is characterized by mutual cooperation towards the
achievement of a specified goal. Partnerships may take several forms and
characteristics, depending on the needs of the strategy and desires of the
partners.

• Community profiling – a comprehensive description of the needs of a population that is

defined or defines itself, as a community, and the resources that exist within that community
carried out with the active involvement of the community itself for the purpose of developing
an action plan or other means in improving the quality of life within the community. (Hawlin &
Percy – Smith, 2007.p.5

• Assessment - serves and identifies the available resources to address the unmet needs of
the community's most vulnerable residents. These assessments help determine the
underlying causes and conditions of poverty within one’s community and identify unmet needs.
The assessment then guides our work to implement programs that will help our most
vulnerable residents out of poverty.

• Community Action Planning - The community action plan is one of

the participatory tools used to build the capacity of community members in
taking action in accordance with the problems, needs, and potentials of
the community.

• Resource mobilization - refers to all activities involved in securing new and additional
resources for your organization. It also involves making better use of, and maximizing
existing resources.

• 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 organizations or bayanihan acts. While
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.

• Evaluation - 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 non-profit group to a state wide or even
national effort. Evaluation offers the following advantages for groups of almost any
size:

 • Collecting information about how things are done and its 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.
