The document outlines the 7 phases of community organization: study, analysis, assessment, organization, action, evaluation, and modification/continuation. It provides details on the key activities and goals of each phase. The study phase involves fact-finding about the community needs and problems using methods like pilot studies and descriptive studies. The analysis phase involves breaking down the problem and examining relationships. Assessment determines the nature, causes, and impact of the problem. Organization establishes roles and responsibilities. Action determines courses of action. Evaluation assesses effectiveness and achievements. Modification uses evaluation findings to improve future interventions.
Intersectional theory proposes that we should think of each element or trait of a person as inextricably linked with all of the other elements in order to fully understand one's identity.

Introduction
People advocate for a large number and variety of topics. Some of these are clear-
cut social issues that are universally agreed to be problematic and worth solving,
such as human trafficking. Advocacy can include many activities that a person or
organization undertakes including media campaigns, public speaking,
commissioning and publishing research. Lobbying (often by lobby groups) is a
form of advocacy where a direct approach is made to legislators on a specific issue
or specific piece of legislation.
Advocacy
Generally we can say that Advocacy is an activity by an individual or group that
aims to influence decisions within political, economic, and social systems and
institutions.
Ritu R. Sharma from the Academy for Educational Development describes
advocacy as a tool for “putting a problem on the agenda, providing a solution to
that problem and building support for acting on both the problem and the solution”.

Importance of advocacy
Advocacy includes many different types of activities. It has many importances. It
can mean researching new solutions, creating coalitions of like-minded people,
public campaigning to raise awareness and much more. The main importance of

Module 1 Overview
The purpose, function, and application of strategic planning in health care administration is studied. Content includes strategic planning, situational analysis, strategy formulation, action planning, and metrics. Leader qualities are used in this module to effectively identify strategic issues, develop a team, and develop a plan of action for overall improvement. Organizational behavior is examined to view its impact on organization vision/mission, organizational goals, organizational communication, and the diverse environment of professionals in health care organizations.
Strategic planning models can offer a range of opportunities to an organization. The National Criminal Justice Association (2017) recommends the following strategic planning models:
Model One: The Basics
Organizations that are small, busy, and have not done much strategic planning before might want to start with this approach. Top-level management often carries out planning in this model rather than using a community-based approach. Basic strategic planning includes:
1. Create a mission statement. A mission statement describes why the organization exists (i.e., identifies its basic purpose). The statement should address both the types of communities or audience that the organization serves, and the services and products it will provide. The top-level management will generally develop the mission statement. The statement will change somewhat over the years.
2. Select the organization’s intermediate goals. Goals are general statements about what needs to be accomplished to meet the purpose or mission and address major issues.
3. Identify approaches or strategies to reach each goal. Strategies are often what change most as the organization eventually conducts more robust strategic planning, particularly as external and internal environments are examined more closely.
4. Identify action plans to implement each strategy. Action plans list the steps that each major function (for example, a department or agency) must take to ensure that it is effectively implementing a strategy. Objectives should be clear enough to be assessed if they have been met. Ideally, top management will develop committees, each with their own work or set of objectives.
5. Monitor and update the plan. Planners regularly monitor progress towards goals and whether action plans are being implemented. Perhaps the most important indicator of success is positive feedback from customers.
6. Note that organizations may want to extend step 3 by identifying additional goals that help develop central operations or administration (e.g., implementing a new goal that strengthens financial management).
Model Two: Issue- or Goal-Based Strategic Planning
Organizations that begin with basic planning often evolve toward this more comprehensive and effective approach. This model will be the focus of recommendations for use as the preferred process in community-based planning.
1. Identify SWOT (Strengths, W ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Phases of community organisation
Community organisation is a scientific method to
works with communities.
It aims to provide help to the members of the
community to identify different dimensions of their
needs, resources in their environment, building
capacity and meeting the needs through organised
efforts.
Here, community is treated as the client and identify
and fulfil its developmental needs on a priority basis.
In actual practice some of them may overlap or occur
simultaneously depending on the nature of the problem
and community characteristics.
3. Community organization process moves through
certain distinct phases.
STUDY
ANALYSIS
ASSESSMENT
ORGANISATION
ACTION
EVALUATION
MODIFICATION AND CONTINUATION
4. 1.STUDY
Study is the most important aspect of fact-finding.
The community organizer or the agency takes steps to
understand the community, its needs and problems
comprehensively.
A study means simply a specific systematic inquiry or
investigation in respect to social welfare phenomena
with the purpose of applying the results to social
welfare practice.
The community organizer use different types of study
methods, such as:
5. A. Pilot study: Pilot study is a brief and exploratory study. That
determine whether a larger study should be made or what would
be involved in such a larger study.
B. Descriptive study: The community organiser studies the problem
in a descriptive manner.
C. Analytical or evaluative study: This study not only describe, it
also analyses and interprets the data. It also evaluates
performance and appraises an agency’s program, standards,
operation or administration.
D. Path finder study: The path finder study is usually made in a
smaller community. It is a form of analytical study.
6. OUTLINE TO IDENTIFY THE MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF
A COMMUNITY
IDENTIFICATION:
Name of the community.
In what block, district, tehsil, or municipal area is the community located.
What is the population? Number of houses, families, castes.
Does the community correspond identically or approximately with a
governmental unit: City, state, etc.? If so, give name and type of unit.
Classification: type of community, for example – tribal, rural, urban, etc.
What are the major geographical characteristics of the community?
When the community was first established?
Note any significant figures about birth or death rate in the community.
What is the main occupation of the members of the community?
7. RESOURCES:
Note any special features of interest in regard to the following types of
community resources.
Economic
Educational
Health and medical
Recreational and leisure time activities
Welfare and civic
Religious
Housing and community facilities-public water hydrants, street-lights,
post-office, dispensary, transportation, other utilities, etc.
8. PROBLEMS:
Are there problems in the community (as seen by the workers/ as
felt and mentioned by the community)?
Are there special problems concerned with any minority groups?
Are there significant conflicts or tension situations in the
community
9. 2.ANALYSIS:
Analysis lies between fact-finding and planning.
It is the breaking up of a problem, situation or collection
of data and the explanting of the content and examining
and setting forth of various aspects and relationships
involved.
The purpose is to gain insight and understanding,
particularly, to understand the content better, by
dividing it up on some logical basis and to understand
the relationships involved in the content.
Analysis is one of the typical methods of dealing with a
problem in a community.
10. The following suggestions indicate the possible ways of applying
analysis:
I. What is the problem -Describe the problem situation. How long
has it existed? Its setting & back ground – historical, socio
psychological.
II. Who are the persons or groups involved or concerned with the
problem. What personality factor, attitudes, beliefs, prejudices
etc. are significant.
III. When is the problem? Immediate? Or in the future? Temporary
or long range? Is there a time limit for a achieving a proposed
solution?
IV. Why this problem? What would happen if nothing is done about
it?
11. Another ways of doing analysis:
1) Classification
2) Comparison.
3) Chronological analysis.
4) Organisational analysis.
5) Financial and statistical analysis.
12. 3.ASSESSMENT:
During assessment the community organiser assess the
nature, causes and magnitude of the problem and how
many number of people are affect by this problem.
It is the stage in which the situation in the community is
appraised of. We make evaluations of the conditions in
the community.
The problem’s identity, its location and its magnitude is
expressed. Analysis of the causes- economic factors,
political pressures, institutionalized values, and attitudes
that contribute to the problem.
Another integral part of assessment is resource
assessment. This involves cataloguing all actual and
potential resources for dealing with the problem.
13. Dimensions of assessment:
The nature of problems.
The coping capacities of those involved.
The relevant systems involved.
The available and needed resources.
The motivation to resolve problems.
14. Forms of community assessment:
• Community assessment is the process of identifying the
strengths, assets, needs and challenges of a community.
According to Spradley the various forms of community
assessment methods are:
Comprehensive Assessments
Assessments of a familiarisation nature
Problem- oriented assessments
Subsystem assessments
15. Comprehensive Assessments:
• Encompassing the entire community
• Methodologically thorough generating original data
Problem- oriented assessment:
• Involve entire community but centre one problem-
child abuse, drug use among youth.
• Analysis of the political environment, an assessment
of the community’s readiness to deal with the problem
and a measure of resources the community has to deal
with the problem.
16. Assessments of a familiarisation nature:
A cursory examination of the entire community, with the goal of
achieving a general understanding.
Subsystem assessment:
Examining a single facet of community life, such as agricultural
sector, business sector, service agencies, and migrant labourers.
Resource assessments:
Power, expertise, funding and service.
Social workers need to look for informal and formal resources-
services.
Preparing resource inventories, directories.
17. Methods of assessment:
Surveys
Focus groups
One-on one interviews
Walkabouts
Public meetings
18. 4.Organisation:
The community organiser must relate the person and facilities in an
organised manner.
The roles and responsibilities of the community members must be clearly
defined.
Organisation is defined as the establishment and allocation of functions
and relationship and the integration of effort for the achievement for a
central purpose.
According to Dunham: “Organisation means orderly arrangement of the
group effort to provide unity of action in the pursuit of a common
purpose”.
Organization as two aspects which are complimentary –
1) Breaking up the work, and
2) seeing that the parts thus established operate in unity to achieve the
common purpose.
Organisation implies the conscious integration of human efforts. Formal
or informal organization can be done.
Organisation should be done so as to facilitate people’s participation.
19. 5.Action:
Thinking of various possible courses of action.
Analysis of the course of action in terms of cost, efforts,
consequences, effectiveness, acceptability.
Selecting the best possible course of action.
Analysis of the problem solving structure and process.
20. 6.Evaluation:
The effectiveness and the achievement of the goal is evaluated at
the evaluation phase.
It helps to locate the shortcomings and the failures of the
programme.
Evaluation can be internal or external. The internal evaluation is
conducted by the community organiser and the external evaluation
is conducted by the experts.
The major purposes of evaluation are:
a)To measure whether goals and objectives could be achieved.
b) To understand the mistakes which have occurred.
c)To learn about the hurdles and obstacles encountered.
d)To draw lessons for future interventions.
21. e) To see what strategies and techniques were successful and
which were not.
f) To develop guidelines for the continuation or modification of
the programme.
Evaluation should be completely objective and based on the
objectives of the activity/intervention.
Apart from the achievement of physical targets the
improvements in cooperative and collaborative attitudes,
skills and increased capacities and confidence also should
be assessed.
22. 7.Modification and continuation:
After evaluation, we can make some modifications and changes in the
implemented programmes.
We can mobilize the resources or can change the present programmes
for attending the issues.
Usually community problems are not easy to solve at one attempt. If
partial achievements are made or if some of the objectives have been
achieved and others not achieved, evaluation would help the worker and
the community to make changes in the current strategies.
Based on the findings of evaluation, changes/improvements can be
made in the plan of action to ensure the achievement of objectives in the
next attempt.
Again based on the evaluation, the community can decide whether to
continue or terminate the process. Community organization process
needs to be continued if the achievements have not been complete or
some other dimensions of the problems need to be tackled. On the other
hand, the process can be terminated if the community feels that
whatever has been intended has been achieved.
23. Conclusion:
Community organisation is an important method of social
work. The social workers use community organisation
method to work with the communities. This can solve the
problems of many people in the community through their
collective effort. Through various phases of community
organisation, the community organiser understands the felt
needs of community and helps the people to meet their
needs.
