A community may be defined as a group of people living or linked together and sharing a common language, culture, problems, and opportunities with common social and economic interests to achieve a certain goal.
Community mobilization is therefore a process for seeking support for collective actions from the community. Its purpose is to address a community's problem/ issues/ concerns /needs. CCBI engages communities for various purposes:
CCBI starts with the concerns that a community has in relation to the problem e.g. HIV and AIDS, malaria or other diseases, the environmental degradation, water and sanitation, or food insecurity. The motivation that energizes the efforts of the community comes from a variety of sources: Compassion, religious commitments, or recognition that unless they support each other while they are able, they will have no one to depend on if their own families someday need help.
CCBI supports community mobilization under the premise that “Community mobilization is mechanism to define and put into action the collective will of the community, rather than a way to achieve community consensus for externally defined purpose”
CCBI works under the principle that it mobilizes the entire community to get involved – therefore we aim at being effective and sustainable. CCBI does not assume responsibility for addressing problems on behalf of its community.
