Cher Younoussa,<br />
<br />
Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé cette expérience. Qu'est-ce qui, selon les gens du village, est un élément clé pour la réussite de la mobilisation des resources. Quels conseils donneraient-ils à un autre village qui veut mobiliser des resources?<br />

Ouelegan 1 est un village du cercle de Koutiala dans la région de Sikasso: les communautés ont décidé pour la mobilisation de ressources permettant la réalisation de leur plan d’action de faire un champ collectif de haricot d'une superficie d'un hectare. Après les récoltes, les revenus issus de la vente des produits alimenteront une caisse mise en place pour la circonstance. Un comité de suivi du plan d’action mis sur place à décidé de cotiser chaque semaine avec des adhérents volontaires, la somme de 25 FCFA. Ainsi quand nous passions, le comité avait mobilisé 10 000 F dont 2000F ont été utilisés pour l’achat de semences de niébé. Le reste de l’argent disponible est prévu pour l’achat d’engrais.

I agree with Marlou and Geoff who have beautifully expressed their dream on Mobilizing resources. I do think that in the ideal situation we mobilize internal but also external resources. We mobilize a <b>divers set</b> of resources so that we do not depend on one source of income.<br />

Many initiatives fail when the funding stops. I want to see sustainable responses and these usually occur when people realise they have the solutions available to them with their own resources.

Many initiatives fail when the funding stops. I want to see sustainable responses and these usually occur when people realise they have the solutions available to them with their own resources. I'm currently reading a book on <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Positive-Deviance-Innovators-Leardership/dp/1422110664/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1286013920&sr=1-1" target="_blank">"The Power of Positive Deviance"</a> by Richard Pascale and the Sternins and the initial story is about child malnutrition in Vietnam. The solution lies within communities but people can't see the well nourished child till they understand the norm and forget the conventional wisdom that poor families cannot afford to nourish their children. Supplies of nourishing food are great till the money runs out but then the children become malnourished again. Finding their own solutions within their own communities with the resources they have available creates something sustainable. We have opportunities to learn more about how both as a facilitator of community discussions and as an organisation that struggles for the resources to do what it wants.

Here is my first pass at my dream for Resource Mobilisation.<br />
<br />
Together we will recognise and use our own resources, both financial and non-financial to achieve something. Our achievements help us access resources beyond our own to achieve more.

<u>Notes from Knowledge Asset meeting: 9 Sept 2010</u><br />
<u><b>Resource Mobilisation</b></u><br />
We shared the stories we had been working on or our own stories.<br />
Laurence shared a story about a man returning to Russia because his father had died. Friends rallied round with money and clothes to help him get back. The message was ‘If you build a strong sense of community then the resources will come.’<br />

<u>Notes from Knowledge Asset meeting: 9 Sept 2010</u><br />
<u><b>Resource Mobilisation</b></u><br />
We shared the stories we had been working on or our own stories.<br />
Laurence shared a story about a man returning to Russia because his father had died. Friends rallied round with money and clothes to help him get back. The message was ‘If you build a strong sense of community then the resources will come.’<br />
<br />
Marijo shared a story from Wiwin about fathers getting involved in Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH) issues. The emphasis moved from education and providing information to community discussion. Funds were prioritised from infrastructure projects to funding community discussions about ARH. The message is “when you understand and care for members of your community then you can mobilize resources”<br />
<br />
Marlou reflecting on the street children projects and the way they sell products when they go to workshops, conferences etc. “If people look for creative ways to get resources they will find them.”<br />
Also she shared the story of Wayan in Bali. When project money stopped for IDU users infected with HIV a man drove a taxi by day to pay the bills and spent time doing the things he wanted to do the rest of the time to help those infected.<br />
<br />
Geoff talked about Sumali and the puppets – Once the community had collaborated on putting on the puppet show to share the facts about the HIV virus it was easier for them to deal with other issues in the village together, such as starting cottage industries to provide jobs in the village. Message when a community comes together to tackle on issue it is easy to mobilise that community pull to deal with other issues.<br />
<br />
Phil commented on a number of stories that have been captured on Ning<br />
<br />
Abinhav Singh shared a story about Women in Prostitution performing traditional singing and dancing thereby changing the publics attitude towards them. The essence of this story is “We have resources that are not recognised by others or ourselves”<br />
John Pierre Montilla reminds us that our voice in the political process is a resource that we can use. He advocates that NGOs should be very political but not partisan.<br />
Samuel tells of the wellness centres for Kenya Long Distance Truck Drivers. The resources are available if we recognise them. In this case the resources are human, social and material.<br />
The power of identity (Are we human?) Women in Togo receive a certificate to show they belong to the Women’s group. This gives them a real sense of identity. Burdens can become resources. PLWHIV become part of the solution<br />
Identify the need then ask for resources as part of the planning.<br />
<br />
Geoff shared a story from his village which illustrates these last two points. His village organise a village fete and show each year. The money raised goes to a number of projects in the village and a large portion goes to the church. One villager opposed the money going to the church because he feels the church is rich and doesn’t need it. Stella organises the village show which shows off flowers, vegetables and produce from the village. She asked this person to help her on the day by collecting money for people to enter the church and he agreed. He agreed because despite his views he was asked to help on a specific task and be part of the community.<br />
<br />
Gaston shared a couple of his learnings before the meeting. We really need to know what resources we need. Whether it is on a village level or for a global partnership. Good mobilisation of resources requires good preparation and analysis. Else we can not convince the people that will provide the resources to join this cause<br />
We need to know the strengths of the people that will provide the resources. When we appreciate strengths, we align with people's passion and drive resulting in many other spin-off effects. Resources are then mobilised based on passion and ownership.<br />
<br />
Reflecting on the sum of the essence we noted that most of the resources were non financial, and usually resources that the community already had.<br />
<br />
<i>If you build a strong sense of community then the resources will come.<br />
When you understand and care for members of your community then you can mobilize resources.<br />
When a community comes together to tackle on issue it is easy to mobilise that community spirit to deal with other issues.<br />
If people look for creative ways to get resources they will find them.<br />
We can earn the money to pay our bills which enables us to do the things that will make a difference.<br />
We have resources that are not recognised by others or ourselves<br />
Our voice in the political process is a resource that we can use<br />
The power of identity. Burdens can become resources.<br />
We really need to know what resources we need. Identify the need then ask for resources as part of the planning.<br />
We need to know the strengths of the people that will provide the resources. When we appreciate strengths, we align with people's passion and drive</i><br />
<br />
A key point added by MariJo If we change our perception of 'our' and 'their' resources? I mean if it would be possible to change the idea that we are asking monies from them 'to us', but making them part of the community and sharing responsibility for the problem and the solution.<br />
<br />
<u>What do we need to know?</u><br />
The Constellation needs to mobilise resources in order to do its work. If we consider we are a customer for this knowledge asset on Mobilising Resources, what do we need to know?<br />
We need to know:<br />
What resources do we need?<br />
What resources do we have available? What ones are we using? Not using?<br />
What members want to do? And what strengths do they bring?<br />
What can we demonstrate we have already achieved? [We do this well in the annual report.]<br />
Who are the right people to act for us within the partner organisations?<br />
We have to be able to articulate what we offer as an organisation {What is our business proposition?] What we offer to the donors? What we offer to the members?<br />
<br />
What else do you think we need to know in order to mobilise the resources to achieve our goals? This will help us focus on what stories and experiences to collect. Please add these on the discussion forum on Ning.<br />
<br />
The next meeting will be Thursday 7th Oct at 08:30 GMT. Reflect on what your dream is of resource mobilisation and share it on the discussion forum before the next meeting.

Cette histoire de Abhinav Singh sur les ''femmes dans la prostitution'' démontre que le regard des autres est un facteur qui pourrait amener les gens à changer de comportement. Chacun doit jouer sa partition: Communauté, ONG, administration, politique, leaders d'opinion, média, population générale, tous les acteurs de la vie en société.<br />
