Social mobilization is the
primary step of community development and poverty reduction. It allows people to understand their
socio-economic circumstances and initiate action with their own creativity for
change. Through mobilization people can organize themselves to take action
collectively by developing their own plan and strategy rather than either
disparate individual action or a plan being imposed from outside.
Primary group is
the main point of a community. Community members live close together with socio-economic
affinity, having common interest will be encouraged and assisted to form
Primary Groups by 15-20 families on
a geographic basis. Only
one member of each family will be eligible for membership. Each group will
elect a group leader and a secretary to serve for period two years. As a guideline, holding weekly meetings of
the group should be a precondition
Primary group members are savings & credit
member. SCG members meet weekly to collect savings. Each SCG member is provided
with an individual passbook with identification number. The primary group
leaders & CDC committee is responsible for the overall management of the
savings and credit program. Disbursement of credit is approved in the CDC
meeting and recorded by a regulation. Project staffs, CDC & CDC Cluster
leader monitor the accounting system regularly.
