Key points

Since action is needed to distinguish organizing from mobilization, the community must act in accordance with its plan and project design. The mobilizer stimulates and encourages that action. While they are engaged in a project, community members become more aware of the skills they need, and the mobilizer must be prepared to assist them on obtaining those skills. Monitoring of the project by the community is needed. Celebration of its completion is public recognition and an opportunity to repeat the cycle
