<p>Thanks for sharing this experience - really delighted of the thinking around stimulating community conversations(Dialogue) around polio vaccination. My experience, is that, let the formed teams in each community get better in facilitation of the stimulus process through systematic SALT visits to homes and neighborhoods. The encounter in the home environment (private conversations) will open up a pathway for conversations around hopes/vision, strengths for response and concerns. These conversation will spiral out to activate multiple homes to think of their own health and possibilities for neighborhoods ( public space) conversations for collective action by the community will emerge.</p>
<p>My take from SE District in Botswana where we are implementing the National strategy( CATCH - Communities acting together to control HIV/AIDS) is that - let the teams Not only focus on REACH but also go deep on concerns being named during the SALT visit to homes. Essentially conversations are deep and relational - and a sense of mutual trust is the foundation as people realize we are together and its possible to turn around the issue at hand. Conversations are not health surveys! Be on the watch on INCLUSION as a strategy during the conversation by reflecting on who is missing? who needs to be included, how can we include them?</p>
<p>The REACH question is likely to erode the spirit of local responses to polio as people focus on coverage/Nos alone.</p>
<p>For me also - there are two possibilities for generating the data that can as well serve as baselines - one through conversations in the home, where the teams together can make a syntheisis of the most named concerns and subsets of concerns linked to polio while the other option is if the community can get to the level of doing a self assessment.</p>

<p>Yes Rituu, Indeed!</p>
<p>You all are right! The spirit of SALT is our key. I'm trully convinced that we'll make significant change in the mind of the facilitators and in the way they will discuss the issue with the community. As much as we receive ideas and comment I start to developp my confidence in the programm we'll facilitate.</p>
<p>Of course I'll share our experience on this.</p>
<p>Thank you to all of you!</p>

<p>Hi Laurie,</p>
<p>If you remember I had raised the same point with you as JL did! And I have the same answer as JL. I would focus on spirit of our approach- SALT and community conversations. Challenge would be mindset of the facilitators and NGO staff. For years they have been 'doing' things for the community and changing to facilitative mode is very hard.

<p>If you remember I had raised the same point with you as JL did! And I have the same answer as JL. I would focus on spirit of our approach- SALT and community conversations. Challenge would be mindset of the facilitators and NGO staff. For years they have been 'doing' things for the community and changing to facilitative mode is very hard. It is when they begin to appreciate that communities have the capacity to act on their own issues will things change. Why do they need to take on so much burden ( you can put this argument). One question we can ask the communities is ' <em>what will you do (on polio) when the project is over, as NGO staff will no longer be there after the project</em>.'</p>
<p>Am sure you will do very well! Do you share your experience so that we can learn from you and apply in our work especially our new project on immunisation in India. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Hi Jean Louis</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you for your answer!</p>
<p>You are right to real emergency! May be what I wanted to share wasn't well expressed in this blog.</p>
<p>The real challenge for us is to show significant change in only 2 weeks of accompagniement of local facilitators. The pression is not from our partner, but we really see here that community dialogue is wanted from Youth Minister, Communication and Unicef, but health ministry is looking at results of this one month partnership. Their worry is on "what community dialogue and SALT approach can do in that period of polio campaign seen here as un emergency?".</p>
<p>And we know clearly that this mission is a pilote to show and document as much as possible the impact of community dialogue. Unicef and our partners from Ministry hope to show results from this.</p>
<p>I'm really calm about it. I know clearly the limits of CLCP process in a short amount of time. If facilitators, we'll train, receive an invitation to an other discussion from the community, this will be for me a success.</p>
<p>What I expect from that mission, is just to transfert the SALT spirit in a natural way and to gain the confidence of the community to extend the conversation.</p>
<p>We ask this request hopping for idea, tools or advice from the Constellation.</p>
<p>Indeed the word "Emergency" may not be the good one! Sorry about that! What do you suggest to say?</p>
<p>If you have advice on how to accompagny facilitators in their way to implement the SALT approach (just of info: we'll not accompagny them directly in communities to disturb the dialogue), we'll be happy to hear about!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you again for you message!</p>

<p>Hi Laurie!</p>
<p>Great that you raise this question, which stimulates our collective thinking.</p>
<p>Here are a few impressions I get from your request and answers to them. Please these are just hunches, take what seems useful, and leave the rest.</p>
<p>First, I get the impression that the sense of emergency is within you. There is no earthquake, no fire devastating the island. What you deal with is a tight schedule. </p>

<p><em>Please check within. Are you calm? </em></p>
<p>"It is not what you do that determines success, but the inner spirit with which you do it" (Sorry I forgot who said it!)<em><br/></em></p>
<p>Second, six days for transferring SALT is more that we often get. It seems that the immediate challenge is not community ownership of the challenge of childhood mortality and morbidity; the challenge you face is that social workers within UNICEF and outside have to let go of the delusion that they are in control. And what is our approach to that? The practice of SALT. Through SALT, facilitators discover and unleash dormant energies within communities that will enable them to let go. At least, that is what it did to me.</p>
<p><em>Please focus on the essential transformation required. Practice SALT within the room and with nearby communities. No transport? Have people practice SALT with hotel staff, nearby shops and passers-by. And unlike the usual warning on TV advertisements, encourage participants to try this at home!</em></p>
