How to Mobilize Communities for Health and Social Change

This field guide has been designed to be used by [those] who are considering using community mobilization to improve health at the individual, family, and community level.The guide guide contains illustrative examples and lessons learned in community mobilization experiences from around the world, focusing on working with disadvantaged or marginalized groups in developing countries. The characteristics of each country and each region are very different, so the field guide does not recommend a unique strategy for community mobilization but offers instead general principles and methods which will need to be adapted to local settings and conditions.
