needs or gaps between current conditions or wants.
SWOT ANALYSIS MAPPING GUIDE:

• Strength- These are the standout characteristics of your community in political,


economic, sociocultural, technological, and environmental aspects.

obstacles for positive change.

4. RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
-is a process where we identify the
resources essential for the
development, implementation, and
continuation of works for
achieving the organization’s
mission.
A. Planning Phase- The planning phase should ideally
establish an RM strategy and action plan (for the
immediate term), describing how particular resource
partners will be targeted and for which resources.
• B. Act Phase- This step is broken into five-step process.
• C. Reflect Phase- the Rm effort (strategy and action plan)
is monitored and evaluated, specifically reporting on
successes and failures, and working through lessons
learned, to tailor and refocus RM initiatives to maximize
success
5. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND
PARTICIPATORY PLANNING

-is another important part of community action. Leaders


emanate from selected group, volunteers, or individuals
known as the core working group. On the other hand,
Participatory planning is an approach to designing active,
livable cities, which makes urban planning accessible,
community-driven, and fun.

that his/her action is intended to influence others and
perform the action to act or face some social situation.
ELEMENTS OF SOCIAL ACTION BY
TALCOTT PARSONS

was done.

some social situation.

and training are essential for an act.

scheduled completion of the community action plan to
evaluate the effectivity and success of the project.
