Скачать или смотреть ACCESS spotlight: Community mobilization in action

The Jhpiego/ACCESS Program recognizes the need for collective action at the community level to create demand for essential maternal and newborn care services and an enabling environment to support appropriate care-seeking behaviors.

Community mobilization in this project is defined as "a capacity building process through which community individuals, groups or organizations plan, carryout and evaluate activities on a participatory and sustained basis to improve their health and other needs, either on their own initiative or stimulated by others."

This approach provides the community with the capacity it needs to solve its current health and non-health related issues, and to be able to address problems that might arise later.

This video discusses the benefits of community mobilization and shows examples of it in action.
