<p><b>Transcription of the chart</b></p>
<p>Problem:</p>
<p>- Getting help to the community takes a long time to get to the community</p>
<p>- Mismatch of needs</p>
<p>Suggestions: </p>
<p>- Using SALT to improve resilience in the community and to reduce risks</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>How to integrate SALT into a social local legal development structure?</b></p>

<p><b>Transcription of the chart</b></p>
<p>- Presentation and shared understanding of the SALT approach/process at the Central Level (?, Witness accounts, tools) à Training in SALT exchanges and the approach at the regional network (practices) à Demands on the local level à Facilitator passing on the information</p>
<p>- Pilot structures causing impactful actions, leading to change and “oil stains.”</p>
<p>- Recruitment and training of volunteers</p>
<p>- Would like to be part of the global support team along with others in my country</p>
<p>- Multiplying number of facilitators and target groups</p>
<p>- Choosing a demographic district -- Community mapping -- Contact stakeholders and partners – in the community -- share data information -- Explain to leaders how it works -- ask people to volunteer – ask facilitator to explain SALT to community</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Ways of CLCP in community without funding</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Blended learning Free version</li>
<li>Virtual money</li>
<li>Community could provide accommodation and other resources for facilitator</li>
<li>The community may select or provide facilitators</li>
<li>Approach nearby universities or organisations for volunteers</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Inclusiveness</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Projects and programmes should use SALT – CLCP to include people of all ages to improve better living</li>
<li>Advocacy using SALT-CLCP targeting government leaders in the communities from village to district to national levels for intergenerational space</li>
<li>Older people from neighbouring countries ie Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania organize experience sharing visits to use SALT-CLCP</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><b>How to create leaders?</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Identify potential peer leaders in the community</li>
<li>Identify target groups to sensitise ( reach new groups)</li>
<li>Training for leaders/facilitators</li>
<li>Create a manual for leaders/facilitators</li>
</ol>
<p>Values and qualities</p>
<p>Examples to follow (Catherine’s story)</p>
<p>Conflict resolution</p>
<p>Tools of a leader</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Intention (passion) + Attention (space, time… )</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>How do we introduce SALT to communities and train community facilitators?</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure SALT facilitators appreciate SALT and practise themselves. Unlearn what we know and relearn. Individual transformation for collective mobilization. “It starts with you.”</li>
<li>Engage communities and learn from them instead of giving things</li>
<li>Practise SALT with associations and individuals – inspire people to join training</li>
<li>Use an existing tool or method (easy care) to practise SALT with communities</li>
<li>Processes of introducing SALT. What is the first step- introduction who are you as a human being</li>
<li>Make SALT as part of curriculum of a college, students practise and then introduce to the community-gives more credibility – more volunteers</li>
<li>Putting it as a central practice of International Association for community development</li>
<li>AER- learning from each other and link/transfer process needs to be strengthened and institutionalized. AER is for the whole community.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>How to identify and get started in a community that has never experienced SALT</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Choose a district- Community mapping and identify target group</li>
<li>Identify stakeholders/partners (Church; religious organizations, community centres and local government)</li>
<li>Sharing of data/information</li>
<li>Contact is made with the community members ( community meeting)</li>
<li>The community selects two local facilitators</li>
<li>SALT facilitators training</li>
<li>Mobilise the facilitators to take actions that are sustainable</li>
<li>Connecting with the Global/SALT Team for ongoing learning, review</li>
</ul>
<p><b>How to measure SALT/CLCP?</b></p>
<p>Group: Agnes, Saba, Alessandra, Jerome, Kausar, Luc, Anita Sheehan, Rituu</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Competencies (they can be indicators to measure) all those using SALT; we will develop a tool to capture on monthly basis what we do, show tangible results; captures the changes and evidence</li>
<li>we need to streamline what we mean by competencies (work more on this)</li>
<li>Competencies of facilitators in the community- (need to deconstruct further)- engage the community, how to realize the potential and</li>
<li>Champions/Influencers -Able to communicate ideas of SALT to the community and response to critical questions</li>
<li>Capacity of the community (unpack) to develop local response- what capacities have acquired + SALT+ to be sensitive injustice in the community have open dialogue on sensitive issues; what actions have taken – HH, village, workplace, public place ( both on specific issue and other issues)</li>
<li>(Theory of ownership)</li>
<li>Transfer of SALT to community to address</li>
<li>Encourage Baseline and end line in the partnerships</li>
<li>Write papers and attend conferences</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Marketing of SALT</b></p>
<ul>
<li>How to communicate learning from SALT in a strategic way</li>
<li>Ask what are your challenges? Explain how can SALT address the challenges</li>
<li>Be careful to use terminology, which others understand</li>
<li>“Also the way we present; be at their level”- Agnes</li>
<li>Whom do we want to market to? Develop indicators, which are accepted outside</li>
<li>Social determinants of health</li>
</ul>
