Ward level follow up on Issues Prioritized at Pali - 13th to 27th August, 2017

Taking the Participatory Strategic Planning Process further the Core Committee members have interacted with the heads of the households at the Ward Level with an objective to identify, list out ward level issues and get more commitment at the Ward level. 

 The CC members visited each of the eight wards on the 13th, 22nd, 25th to 27th August and oriented them on the process of issue identification, handholding them in the process of identifying issues that emerged from the local community (ward). 294 participants across eight wards actively engaged with each other as they were divided into groups of 8 to 10 members. 


They discussed on four questions:
1. What are the small and big issues at the Ward level?
2. Which issues can be solved by the people at the Ward level?
3. Which issues cannot be solved by the people at the Ward level?
4. What are the ways and means that issues can be solved with people's participation at the Ward level?
As a result of these discussions a total of 152 issues were identified across eight wards. Looking at the initiatives of the CC members the Ward members and Sub Leaders showed greater interest. They made lists of their families and informed the heads of each families to identify issues. 

 As per the follow up, an action plan will follow with the prioritizing of the issues. There were some challenges too that were faced for e.g. in ward no. 7 due to two deaths twice the meetings were cancelled. In ward no. 4,6 & 9 the heads of families participated not up to the expectations of the CC members while identifying issues. 

 As per the target the CC and CCO staff were able to complete their visits and obtain the desired result of listing their issues at the Ward Level and increasing the commitment and participation at the Ward Level.
