Social mobilization
This document discusses social mobilization, which is defined as motivating communities to organize and actively participate in their own development. It involves five main approaches: political mobilization to gain policy commitment, community mobilization to inform local leaders, government mobilization to enlist cooperation, corporate mobilization to gain business support, and beneficiary mobilization to motivate program participants. Key elements of social mobilization include partnership building, community participation through various levels of involvement, using media to raise awareness, and advocacy to mobilize resources and create policy change. The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is provided as an example of beneficiary mobilization through its conditional cash transfers.

Editor's Notes
- #18Â Government mobilization aims at informing and enlisting the cooperation and help of service providers and other government organizations that can provide direct or indirect support. Please take note that this is different from Political mobilization, because government mobilization targets the management aspect of the government, while political mobilization is more on dealing with the leadership aspect of the government.
- #19Â The local health board in the LGUs is an example of government mobilization. In this setup, the mayor or governor serves as the Board Chair, and not the municipal or provincial MD.
- #20Â Next is the Corporate Mobilization.
- #21Â It aims at securing the support of national or international companies in promoting appropriate goals, either through the contribution of resources or the carrying of appropriate messages as a part of their advertising or product labelling.
- #22Â One approach under the corporate mobilization is through the so-called corporate social responsibility. It refers to operating a business in a manner that accounts for the social and environmental impact created by the business. It can be in the form of: --commitment to developing policies that integrate responsible practices into daily business operations --as well as in reporting on progress made toward implementing these practices.
- #23Â It is further explained by the CSR pyramid. And as shown in the picture, the CSR pyramid is composed of 4 responsibilities.
- #25Â Beneficiary mobilization aims at informing and motivating the program beneficiaries through training programs, the establishment of community groups and communication through traditional and mass media Example: Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program
- #30 Partnership Building and Networking relies on the concept of “Synergy” – more than the sum of its parts Identification of key stakeholders is the most important activity under this.
- #51Â Social marketing can help you to change the behavior of the consumers or the patients or communities.
