The final step is to develop a robust plan so that action is owned and taken by the community.
Key considerations:
- Are the right people in the room? Are those in the room able to make contributions and share their ideas? What adaptations can I make to make this inclusive and representative of the local community?
- Take time with the steps and stages to make sure ideas and analysis are relevant to the community. Games and Bible studies open up the space for this.
- Are the plans created realistic, practical and owned by the community? Think about your role in ongoing support and encouragement to make plans happen.
- Who might have additional information that will be helpful? Are there local people with technical experience or links to the government? You may reveal issues that need additional support and training, such as advocacy or dealing with sensitive or taboo issues.
