Benefit of community mobilization

The most significant benefit is doing something to help address an issue impacting their community to save valuable resources. By getting involved, community- and faith-based organizations, health care professionals, and policy makers will jointly take actions that answer their community's problem. Community mobilization can:-

• Infuse new energy into an issue through community buy-in and support.
• Expand the base of community support for an issue or organization.
• Help a community overcome denial of a health issue.
• Promote local ownership and decision-making about a health issue.
• Limit competition and redundancy of services and outreach efforts.
• Create public presence and pressure to change laws, polices, and practices - progress that could not be made by just one individual or organization.
• Bring new community volunteers together (because of increased visibility).
• Increase cross-sector collaboration and shared resources.
• motivating the people and encouraging participation
• Increase access to funding opportunities for organizations and promote long-term, organizational commitment to social and health-related issues.
