COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
Healthy Community
(WHO 1998)
-It is a social group determined by:
Geographical boundaries Common values and interests Members know and interact with each other Creates norms, values and social institutions
(Jimenez)
Not only the absence of disease in individuals It is a state of physical, social and mental well-being People are aware of political, religious, economic and cultural factors that affect
their health Could act to prevent illness and promote health

Community Organizing
Definitions:
(Maglaya)
-Process whereby community members develop the capability:
To assess their health needs and problems Plan and implement actions to solve these problems Put up and sustain organizational structures Support and monitor implementation of health initiatives by the people
Keyword: EMPOWERMENT
(Human Resource Development Program (HRDP III))
A continuous and sustained process of educating the people It is working with the people collectively and efficiently, discover their immediate
and long term problems and mobilizing the people to develop their capabilities and readiness to respond and take action on their immediate needs toward the solution of their long term problems.
(Jimenez)
- It is the people who organize themselves into a working team who can effectively solve their own health problems As applied to Primary Health Care – it is defined as the process and structures
through which people are tapped to become organized to participate in health care and community development activities
As a process – is the sequence of steps whereby the members of the community work together to critically assess, evaluate and improve its condition
As a structure – refers to the particular group of community members that work together for common health and health- related problems
(Wikipedia)
Assumes social change involves conflict and social struggle Core goal is to generate durable power (collective power) allowing it to influence
key decision makers on the range of issues overtime
(Mike Miller)
Is a developmental strategy for building people’s capabilities towards self determination and self reliance
A method and a process of educating, organizing and mobilizing people which leads to their own development.
2 things to rectify the problem of power of imbalance: Builds a permanent base of power – dominant institutional power can be
challenged
Transforms individuals and communities – aims to transform the apathetic, individualistic, voiceless poor into a dynamic, participatory and politically responsive community.
Objectives of Community Organizing (as identified by PHC)
1. To make people aware of social realities 2. To form structures that hold the people’s basic interests 3. To initiate the responsible actions
History of Community Organizing in the Philippines
September 21, 1972 –Marcos declaration of martial rule led to:
Elimination of social movements and groups Church-based programs functioned as NGOs and started community organizing
Urban and rural Missionaries of the Philippines Taskforce detainees of the Phil. Episcopal Commission on Tribal Filipinos Share and Care Apostolate for poor Settlers and PEACE
NGOs followed and resumed grassroots activities discretely Political formations saw the need to set up NGOs in order to pursue their own
interest Positive side vs. Negative side
December 1972- Developmental institutions saw the need for more coordinated activities from 10 foundations to 40 by 1976.
Association of Foundations
1977- Repression continued, human rights violation increased
-Advocacy was used to organize mass movement
-NGOs recognized the need to band together into networks for purposes of linkaging, synchronization of activities and cooperative exchange of experiences and resources.
1983- Assassination of Benigno Aquino led to:
Widespread street protests Attracted cooperation of unpoliticized sectors of society (businesses and church) Coalitions were formed Major organizations among the ranks of the peasant, fisherfolks and indigenous
people were organized Other venues of developmental work were explored
Elements of Community Organizing
(Joan Minieri, Paul Getsos and Chardon Press, Tools for Radical Democracy)
1. Power Ability to make something happen Getting people understand the source of problem, devise solutions, strategies,
take on leadership and move to action thru campaigns that win concrete changes2. Relationship Building
People are accountable to one another for their activities on behalf of the group
2 kinds
1. One on one2. Public relationships
3. Leadership Development must build a base of members, get them to see the root of the problem and get
them involved to develop them into leaders4. Political Education
Form of training whether formally or informally about issues, social movements and history of the organization
5. Strategy Overall approach to achieving objectives Way that a community uses its power to win what it wants by:
Campaigns Research Collaboration and alliances
6. Mobilization Essential process of moving people to action
7. Action A public showing of an organization’s power Takes place during campaigns
8. Winning Organizing focuses on winning Unless the organization wins concrete, measurable benefits for those who
participate, it will not last long. They must see a potential for either benefit or harm to themselves if the
group succeeds or fails Their personal involvement has an impact on the whole effort.
9. Movement Building Groups engage in broader social justice activities that are not solely connected to
winnable campaigns or self interest of community 10. Evaluation
Monitors and improves performance (Action-reflection-action) Continuous process of assessing actions whether the goals are met or not
Principles of Community Organizing
1. People are motivated by self-interest2. Community Organizing is a dynamic process3. Learn to deal with conflict and confrontation4. Take into account the fundamental definition of an issue5. Tactics should be within the experience of the people and outside the experience of
the target6. Man learns more effectively from his own actual experiences7. Man needs to deepen and widen his horizon8. People must make their own decisions
Types of Community Organizing
Grassroots FBCO Coalitions
Strengths of Community Organizing (Miller)
Builds self-reliant, creative grass root organizations Openness to experiment Rooted in the community Generates immediate success Empowers people – simple and can be learned by anyone
Emphases of Community Organizing in Primary Health Care (Jimenez)
1. The community works to solve their own problems2. The direction is internal rather than external3. The development of the capacity to establish a project is more important than the
project4. There is a consciousness-raising to perceive health and medical care within the
total structure of society.
Characteristics of Consolidated and Viable Organization (Miller)
1. Ability to facilitate, lead and effectively carry out policies, etc. with maximum participation of members in decision making
2. Ability to achieve desired objectives through maximizing their planning and implementing skills.
3. Capable of effecting institutional and development changes within the organization that would accrue to the welfare of the members
4. Consciousness content: organizational matter
Characteristics of Stable Organization (Miller)
1. Keeps and maintains self-reliance and self-sufficiency
2. Capable of effecting institutional and development changes that would increase the benefit of the people
3. Seeks meaningful participation in policy making bodies where some sectors are not represented at all but which decision affect them
4. Conscious content, community or regional matters affecting the whole population
Phases of Community Organizing
(Maglaya)
A. PREPARATORY PHASE 1. Area Selection2. Community Profiling3. Entry in the Community and Integration with the People
Guidelines: Recognize the role and position of local authorities Adopt a lifestyle in keeping with that of the community Choose a modest dwelling Avoid raising expectations of the people Participate directly in production process and social activities Make house calls Seek out people where they usually gather
B. ORGANIZATIONAL PHASE 1. Social Preparation2. Spotting and developing potential leaders3. Core Group formation- Represented by different sectors of the community
The core group serves as training ground for developing potential leaders in:
Democratic and collective leadership Planning and assuming tasks for the formation of a community wide
organization Handling and resolving group conflicts Critical thinking and decision making process
4. Setting up the Community OrganizationC. EDUCATION AND TRAINING PHASE
1. Conducting Community Diagnosis2. Training of Community Health Workers3. Health Services and Mobilization4. Leadership Formation Activities
D. INTERSECTORAL COLLABORATION PHASE As the organization grows, its needs also grow Assistance and support can be achieved through collaboration with other
organizations and communitiesE. PHASE OUT
Turn-over of work Monitoring and subsequent follow up of activities until the community is ready for
full disengagement
Basic Community Organizing Process
(Jimenez)
I. ENTRY TO THE COMMUNITY The decision to enter a community and establish a helping/working relationship should consider the ff:
A. Clarity of purpose of the relationship between the agency/community organizer and the people
B. Existence of social problems and needsC. Community’s desire and willingness to work for change
II. INTEGRATION WITH THE PEOPLE - Is establishing rapport with the people in a continuing effort to imbibe in their
community life- Immerses himself/herself in the community to know and respect the culture,
history, economy, leaders, and lifestyle of people- Facilitates social investigation and vice versa
III. SOCIAL INVESTIGATION/COMMUNITY STUDY - Is the process of systematically learning and analyzing the various structures and
force in the community study – economic, political and socio-cultural- Comes at the beginning and as a process. It is continuous. “no community study
is ever complete”
Objectives:
1. To gather data2. To identify the classes and sectors present3. To determine the correct approach and method of organizing4. To provide a basis of planning and programming of organizing activities
General methodology and guidelines in social investigation:
A. InterviewB. ObservationsC. Examination/Review of Secondary Data
- Assumes that much of the initial information needed is already available
- Major data to be gathered:a. Geographic and demographic datab. Economy system/type of economic productionc. Political system/decision-making structure/sd. Socio-political system
IV. PARTICIPATORY APPROACH IN SOCIAL INVESTIGATION
- Peoples participation should be observed
Participatory Data Gathering – the process of involving the community residents in the collection and consolidation of data or information
Knowing the answers to the ff:
1. Why data are gathered2. What data to gather3. How data are to be gathered (tools to be used)4. Where data are to be gathered (sources)
It is important in CO because it provides:
1. Demographic profile2. Inventory of community resources3. Identification of community trends and issues4. Picture of network of service and organization in the area5. Opportunity for raising the level of consciousness
Aids the community organizer in:
1. Identifying the situation he/she is entering2. Initial view of the social problems3. Specifying his role face to face with the people4. Setting relevant objectives and effective programs5. Evaluating the community’s progress
V. PROBLEMS/ISSUES IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
Problem Identification – process of defining, analyzing and ranking community problems and needs
- Helping communities perceive and analyze their situation from a more comprehensive and analytical viewpoint
Guide in Problem Identification:
1. Scope/degree of the problem2. Past change efforts3. Origin of the problem4. Factors that maintain/increase or eliminate the problems5. Consequence analysis6. Problem on organization
VI. PLANNING AND STRATEGIZING
Planning – process of translating goals/objectives into specific activities to meet community needs or solve community problems
Planning process involves:
A. Identification of perceived problems and needsB. Identification of existing resourcesC. Study on the block to the utilization of their resourcesD. Formulation of the possible solutions E. Setting Plans of Actions- Plans are further broken down into strategies and tactics
- Strategy – general/over-all direction that organizing process will take course (long range goal)
- Tactics – a specific action/goal within a strategy
Guidelines for forming strategies:
a. Principal issue/ problemb. Solution to the problemc. Strengths and weaknessesd. Other secondary issuese. Larger outside issues
VII. CORE GROUP FORMATION - Identification of potential leaders
Criteria:
Belongs to poor sectors and classes –engaged in production Well-respected and has relatively wide influence Willing to work for change Can find time, conscientious and resourceful Must be able to communicate effectively
Functions of a core group:
Training ground for democratic and collective leadership Builds people’s potential and self-confidence Helps gather data, spotting other potential leaders and members for a community
wide organization Helps in laying out plans and tasks for the formation and maintenance of the
organizationVIII. ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT
- Forming a community-wide organization after formation of the core group
Techniques to recruit members:
A. Ground Work – to go around and motivate people on a one-on-one basis (agitation)
B. The Meeting – the people collectively ratify what they already have decided individually
- Gives a sense of collective power and confidence
- creation of working committees and tasksC. Organizational structure – formal setting up of the community organization where
constitution and organizational plans are ratified and approved- Organizing process results in consolidating a viable people’s organization
D. Leadership Training and development – revolves on indigenous leaders who will eventually take over the role of community organizer- Promotes collective or shared leadership
- May be done formally or informally
Principles and Concepts of Leadership training
1. Leadership as service2. Corporate/collective leadership3. Delegation of Authority4. Eliciting Participation5. Problem Solving
Activities in informal leadership training:
Groundwork Continuous exposure to and active participation to mobilization activities Action-reflection and criticism-self criticism
Activities in Formal leadership training
Seminars Workshops Structured study Sessions
IX. MOBILIZATION - Refers to the activities undertaken by the community to solve problems
- Builds and strengthens people’s self-confidence and collective spirit
- Actual experience of the people confronting the powerful and the actual exercise of people power
Steps and guidelines in preparing Conflict Mobilization:
A. Issue(s) spotting and analysisB. Target AnalysisC. PlanningD. Role playing
X. REFLECTION AND EVALUATION
Reflection – analyzing the finished mass action, its good and weak points identified.
- Relates practice to theory and creates an awareness of global issues
Continual self analysis – necessary to maintain and consolidate a cooperative and participatory spirit to ensure that no oppressor-oppressed relationship emerge within the group
Evaluation - Process of discovering the way it has been accomplished, what has been left out and what remains to be done
- People’s participation in evaluation is as important
Guidelines for evaluating a community:
PART I. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS
A. General DescriptionB. Listing of activities
1. People’s issues handled, completed, on-going and potential2. Mobilization/Negotiation taken3. Meeting/Reflection sessions held4. Seminars and Conventions
PART II. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
A. Area DescriptionB. IssuesC. Organization/Groups
1. Knowledge gained2. Involvement and outlook of people3. Attitudinal changes
XI. TURN OVER AND PHASE OUT - After some time, community organizers become dispensable and the people’s
organization takes over.
Turn-over of the organizing process is done if the ff. are satisfactory achieved:
High level of sociopolitical awareness Sustained membership participation Trained pool of leaders Well set up community structures and linkages Delineated goals, directions, plans of actions are clear- Organizers may assume a supportive role monitoring, consultant, and evaluator

COMMUNITY ORGANIZING PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH (COPAR)
PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH
(Jimenez)
An investigation on problems and issues concerning life and environment of the underprivileged by way of research collaboration with the underprivileged whose representatives participate in the actual research as researchers themselves, doing research of their own problem
A community-directed process of gathering and analyzing information or an issue for the process of taking actions and making changes
PARTICIPATION – main element
The beneficiaries of the research are the main actors of the research process Involves research, education and actions to empower people to determine the
cause of their problems, analyze these problems and act by themselves in responding to their own problem
CHARACTERISTICS OF TRADITIONAL AND PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH
Traditional PAR1. Purpose: to identify and meet
individual needs within existing social systems
1. Purpose: Social Transformation
2. Community problems or needs are defined by experts
2. Research problems are defined by the community
3. Research problems is studied by the researchers
3. The community undertakes the research process. External researchers work alongside
4. Recommendations are based on the researcher’s findings and analysis
4. Community formulates recommendations and an action plan based on research outcome
PARTICIPANTS IN PAR
There is an outside researcher, a professional one who through immersion and integration on the community becomes a committed participant and learner in the community
The local researchers are trained in the process of research and are made aware of the needs of their people
COPAR
Definition:
Is a social development approach that aims to transform the apathetic, individualistic and voiceless poor into a dynamic, participatory and politically responsive community
is a continuous and a sustained process of:1. Educating the people - to understand and develop their critical
consciousness2. Working with people - to work collectively and effectively on their
immediate and long term problems3. Mobilizing with people - develop their capability and readiness to respond,
take action on their immediate needs towards solving the long term problems It is a process and a structure through which the members of the community are
tapped to become organized for participation in health care and community development activities
A strategy used by the HRDP III in implementing the Primary Health Care delivery in depressed and underserved communities to become self-reliant
Process:
The sequence of steps whereby members of the community come together to critically assess to evaluate community conditions and work together to improve those conditions
Structure:
Refers to a particular group of community members that work together for a common health and health related goals
Emphasis of COPAR
1. Community working to solve its own problem2. Direction is established internally and externally3. Development and implementation of a specific project less important than the development of the capacity of the community to establish the project4. Consciousness raising involves perceiving health and medical care within the total structure of society
Importance of COPAR
1. COPAR is an important tool for community development and people empowerment 2. COPAR prepares people/clients to eventually take over the management of a development programs in the future.3. COPAR maximizes community participation and involvement; community resources are mobilized for community services.
PRINCIPLES
1. People especially the most oppressed, exploited and deprived sectors are open to change, have the capacity to change and are able to bring about change.2. COPAR should be based on the interest of the poorest sector of the community.3. COPAR should lead to a self-reliant community and society.
Process/Methods Used in COPAR
A Progressive Cycle of Action Reflection Action – begins with small, local and concrete issue identified by the people and the evaluation and reflection of and on the action taken by them
Consciousness – Raising – through experiential learning is central to the COPAR process because it places emphasis on learning that emerges from concrete action and which encircles succeeding action
COPAR is Participatory and Mass-Based – because it is primarily directed towards and biased in favor of the poor, the powerless and the oppressed
COPAR is Group Centered- not leader centered. Leaders are identified, emerged and are tested through action rather than appointed or selected by some force or entity
CRITICAL STEPS (ACTIVITIES) IN COPAR1. Integration – the health worker becomes one with the people in order to:
a) Immerse in the communityb) Understand deeply the culture, economy, leaders, history, rhythms and
lifestyle in the community2. Social Investigation (Community Study)
- Systematic process of collecting, collating, analyzing data to draw a clear picture of the community
- Must remember the following:a) Use of survey questionnaires is discouragedb) Community leaders can be trained to initially assist in the social
investigationc) Secondary data should be thoroughly examinedd) Social investigation is facilitated if the health worker is properly integrated
and has acquired the trust of the peoplee) Confirmation and validation of community should be regularly done
3. Tentative Program Planning – CO to choose one issue to work on in order to begin organizing people
4. Groundwork – going around and motivating the people on a one on one basis to do something on the issue that has been chosen
5. The meeting – people collectively ratify what they have decided individually- Gives collective power and confidence
- Problems and issues are discussed
6. Role Play – acting out the meeting that will take place between the leaders of the people and the government representatives- way of training people to anticipate what will happen and prepare them for such eventually
7. Mobilization or action – actual experience of the people in confronting the powerful and the actual exercise of people power.
8. Evaluation – the people reviewing the steps 1-7 so as to determine they were successful or not in their objectives
9. Reflection – dealing with deeper, ongoing concerns to look at the positive values CO is trying to build in the organization- Gives people time to reflect on the stark reality of life compared to the ideal
10. Organization – the people’s organization is the result of many successive and similar actions of the people.- a final organizational structure is set up with elected officers and supporting members
COPAR Process
1. Pre-entry Phase
Organizers look for communities to serve/help. It is considered the simplest phase in terms of actual outputs, activities and strategies
and time spent for it
Preparation of the Institution
o Train faculty and students in COPAR.
o Formulate plans for institutionalizing COPAR.
o Revise/enrich curriculum and immersion program.
o Coordinate participants of other departments.
Site Selection
o Initial networking with local government.o Conduct preliminary investigation.
Criteria for Initial Site SelectionEconomically depressed.Health services are inaccessible/ inadequatePoor community health statusAcceptance of the program by community.No serious peace and order problem.No similar group or organization holding the same program.
o Do final networking and consultation with local government and NGOs
o Generate secondary data.o Make long/short list of potential communities.
o Do ocular survey of listed communities.Choosing Final Barangay/Site
o Conduct interviews with barangay officials and key informants to choose project site.o Discuss suitability of project siteo Coordinate with local government and NGOs for assistance of the program’s
implementation in the future.o Develop community profiles from secondary data.o Develop survey tools.
After site selectiono Pay courtesy call to community leaders.o Conduct Community Assemblyo Create a working committeeo Conduct baseline studyo Conduct Staff planning, strategizing for entry phase
2. Entry Phase (social preparation phase) crucial in determining which strategies for organizing would suit the chosen
community Success of the activities depend on how much the community organizers has
integrated with the communityGuidelines for Entry
o Recognize the role of local authorities by paying them visits to inform their presence
and activities.o Her appearance, speech, behavior and lifestyle should be in keeping with those of
the community residents without disregard of their being role model.o Avoid raising the consciousness of the community residents; adopt a low-key profile.
Activities in the Entry Phase
1. Integration - establishing rapport with the people in continuing effort to imbibe community life.
living with the community seek out to converse with people where they usually congregate lend a hand in household chores avoid gambling and drinking
2. Deepening social investigation/community study verification and enrichment of data collected from initial survey a previous investigation was done but this time it is needed to better view how
the community and its people perform in general conduct baseline survey by students results relayed through community
assemblyCore Group Formation
Leader spotting through sociogram.
Key persons - approached by most peopleOpinion leader - approach by key personsIsolates - never or hardly consulted
define roles and functions of the core group prepare community for health and development work organize research team set-up community health organization
The staff can assist the community leaders and core group in creating a project: Management of health programs and to ensure the collective participation
of the residents establish networks and linkages Generate resources Raising consciousness of the community in health and other issues Mobilize residents to act
identification of possible community worker scrutinize and mobilize residents
Conduct team building activities and informal education of the group Train community researchers
