My organisation set up a model titled ‘community model’ in which community chiefs, opinion leaders, youth’s organistions were are involved in the activities implemented by the organisation in a community. During implementation of a project (though not research) there was a project’s component that consists of implementing income generating activities (IGAs). Even if some community chiefs were informed about the IGA, other representatives of the community were unaware. Therefore, the IGA manager ran the business like a personnal one and this resulted in fund embezzlement and failure of the activity.
I have not taken part in Lesson 1. Due to technical problems, I just now succeedded in accessing the Course platform. As a program advisor for my organisation, I deal with community empowerment so as to enable them to own their issues of health, education, environment and broader development. As such My tasks consist of educating and guiding community so as their interests are served at best. I am used to using the term of Community engagement. Which involves taking into account the principles of Autonomy, added value, non malevolence and justice. I am currently unaware of GPP.
