While its structure is basic, it will be varied according to conditions in the community, and the policies or the agency for whom the mobilizer may work. A single project by itself does not empower a community; like exercise, it needs to be repeated. The intervention should be sustained and continuous and good records and reports can help achieve those objectives. Reading Why we describe mobilization as in a cycle?
