Woman and Community Empowerment Activities

Objectives

To achieve the outputs related to raising community demand for quality RH services through women and community empowerment – Enabling Environment

To mobiles women group and build their capacity of women and community-based groups to act as a change agents in the community – Capacity Building and Mobilization

To ensure sustainability of the process of woman and community empowerment - Sustainability

To enhance level of understanding and maturity of woman in respect of their role in social system – Woman Development [Knowledge, Aptitude, Skill – Role Strengthening]

To involve woman and community-based groups for joint action programmes which will be conducted at Ward and Corporation level – Woman Participation in Programme implementation

Strategies

The Project work will be concentrated in five needy slum of the UMC . Each slum will be distinctly marked and its jurisdiction will be decided. The primary information about the slum geography and demography in respect of key persons/institutions/groups and their locations will be collected and studied.

In each slum 10 women groups [WG] will be formed, these woman group members will be united. They will further be guided and motivated in one day orientation programme that will be held at community level. They will be given IEC material that they will distribute among their communities. This will be further be cascaded from woman group to their respective communities.

In this programme, one leadership from each group will be identified as Group Representative [GR]. Hence 50 GR will be nominated. These 50 GR will be given 3 days intensive orientation programme in a two batch. They will also be provided with training material. As these representative are really drivers of the programe activities they will be equipped with thorough knowledge, understanding and will be motivated to take up the challenging role in the process of woman and community empowerment. The sharing of 03 days orientation will be further be cascaded by WR to their respective WG and further WG to their communities.

The knowledge of GR will be periodically updated, revived and shared by 01 day refresher orientation programme that will be held at every quarter. This will further be cascaded from GR to WG and from WG to their communities

Women & Community Empowerment

Once the community is fine tuned and they are geared up for the project activity. A Co-ordination Committee [CC] of GR of each slum will be formulated. This will act as a steering committee and there will be one CC at each slum.

The CC, which will work like steering committed will meet every month to plan out their action plan in respect of project activity for their community. This will be further be cascaded to WG.

Besides this WG the programme effectiveness will be achieved through other stake- holders of each communities such as representatives of CBO’s, Community Leaders, School Teachers, Anganwadi Workers and Health Workers. A Community Mobilization Team [CMT] will be formed for this diverse section of the society including the members of the GR. This will lead to community participation in the programme activities. The team will strive to mobilize all available community resources for collective action. This would be first step forward towards collective voice.

The periodical meeting of CMT will be held to plan out their action plan. They will meet quarterly to deliberate on the issues related with mobilizing community resources in line with programme activity.

The CMT of each slum will establish their network with other CMT’s for collaborative efforts. They will form a collective voice for common issues to all 05 slums at the ward level and the corporation level.

As it is imperative to have interaction with GR of each slum for joint action, the formal set up is made for forming a Network Committee [NC] at Slum level. Hence there will be one NC at each slum. The NC will have 03 representatives each from respective CC. Thus NC will have 15 members committees having representation of each slum.

Quarterly meeting of the NC will be held to discuss the action plan and also to share their experience. They will also take up major issues at the corporation level.In order to create a conducive environment, it is required to strengthen other support system particularly Health System. Therefore one-day orientation programme for entire health system at each slum will be held. They will be motivated and trained to support woman and other clients.

The WG will make continuous effort to form a linkages with local level service delivery points by their participation in health activities and events like RH Camps and NSV Camps.

In order to have a forum to plan community awareness activities, advocacy events and also to address quality of care issues a quarterly meeting of CC with Health Post Staff will be held. It will further strengthen Health System in delivering quality output.

Women & Community Empowerment

SAPREM

As a continuous process the respective WG or United WG will organize awareness activities and events on RH, Gender, Population and development issues at the slum level. This would be a grass-root level intervention.

In a similar way NC will strive to take up events and activities at the Corporation level to organize and mobilize demand for RH services

In order to establish intersectoral linkages at the corporation level, NC and CMT in collaboration will have bi annual meetings with Sr Officer from the Departments of Education/ Health/ ICDS/ Police/ Legal and Social Welfare Department. This will lead to a joint action on a common cause.
