Facilitation is a developmental method that encourages sharing of ideas and critical thinking to identify needs and find effective solutions. It involves helping empower people and communities to solve their own problems and meet their needs using their own potentials. Facilitation is used in many settings to enhance participation and equality, and has been adopted by organizations as a tool to address issues like poverty and social exclusion. The facilitator's main roles are to ease the process, motivate, and guide group formation and activities oriented toward improving livelihoods.
