, QUESTION 4
Issues in community development. (50)
a.) Discuss community mobilisation (20)
Community mobilisation is the process of identifying and bringing together a
community's skills, abilities, talents, and experiences in order to address the
community's development challenges. The underpinning premise of community
mobilisation is the active and effective participation of community members in long-term
socioeconomic, cultural, and political transformation. Mobilisation is more than just
consulting a community. UNISA (2019:26)
Community mobilisation is a systematic process that involves a community in defining
development issues, identifying and mapping resources, and involving key stakeholders
and leadership in developing and implementing plans and programs to address those
issues. Community mobilisation is a lengthy process that necessitates a significant
investment of time and resources in order to establish relationships. It is a difficult
process because it cannot be prescriptive, but when done properly, it provides an
excellent tool for pooling information and knowledge about a community's development
dynamics. It is one of the most effective means of ensuring community involvement in
the development process. UNISA (2019:26)
Community mobilisation, like all strategies of community development intervention, must
be situated within the cultural context of communities, taking full cognizance of
communities' historical experiences, including histories of oppression, marginalisation,
exploitation, and disconnection from institutions of government and political and
economic power. UNISA (2019:26)
Some people believe that community mobilisation is essential for bringing people
together to identify their strengths/assets and work together to solve development
problems. A bottom-up or radical approach to community mobilisation is based on the
premise that individuals, groups, and communities require both the opportunity to
participate in meaningful decision-making and the ability to choose alternative strategies
and actions for community change and transformation. UNISA (2019:26)
a.) Discuss the stages of community mobilisation (30)
According to UNISA (26-28), the following are the stages of community mobilisation:
Making contact with the community
Outside of a community, community development workers must make first/initial contact
with the community, make contacts, and find their way around. This frequently entails
identifying the appropriate community contact persons, such as community leaders,
coworkers, and opinion leaders/shapers. Community development practitioners must
use caution and recognise that these are only preliminary contacts that will be
expanded as the practitioners become more established in the community. Community
