With classes up and running in 14 centers throughout Yirimadjo, Project Muso’s education team will now begin social mobilization trainings for Community Management Committees from each of those 14 communities. The committees, each composed of 17 community members, will be responsible for supporting their center and facilitator, and for launching activities to improve the well-being of everyone in their community. Each committee will spend four days following a Tostan curriculum based on leadership, social mobilization, and financial and material management. By the end of the training, they should have the skills necessary to maintain a well-functioning organization and to launch high-impact development projects. Subcommittees will focus on priority areas such as health, sanitation, clean water, and child protection. By identifying the most pressing problems in their community, developing solutions, and attaining the resources necessary to carry out activities, the Community Management Committees will serve as a model for community-based development.
