Implementation model in the process of social mobilization

A) Staff based models

• In staff-based model the social mobilizers are the employee of the implementation agency.
• These staff are active at all levels from mobilizing individuals’ household to perusing outside funding, from managing relationship with local government to undertaking evaluation
• This range tend to reduce the number of hhs that can be mobilized per staff
• Success depends on presence of staff members and difficult to sustain when program withdraw

B) Cadre based model

• In the cadre-based model social mobilizers work at community level and help the community organization to identify and select the community leaders or genuine leaders who become directly accountable to community organization.
• These genuine cadres who are members of the community itself work to mobilize the individuals and household and become link between the people and social mobilize agency.
• In this way single social mobilizer can cover more territory as the local community leaders do much of the ground work.
• Community member motivated to work as a group leader manage the part of the process
• This mechanism reduces the cost of social mobilization
• The cadres like to be remained the village even when donor funded efforts come to end
