Category:Step 1: Assessment

From Activist Den

Assessment is the basis of any action. Programs, projects or initiatives are built on the tidbits of information concerning the people, organizations, policies and laws, as well as concerns, assets and demographics of the community in question. The Assessment Step provides resources on how to conduct effective research, value citizen engagement, facilitate the emergence of grassroots leadership and successfully fundraise. Also, given assessment is process and result orientated, this step also offers techniques on information gathering and processing, measure the community’s capacity to act, understand socio-political context and foster individual and collective empowerment
