Community Animation is a process designed to stimulate desired action within a community It is a facilitated process allowing a community to reflect upon and deliberately create a sense of identity, time, purpose, meaning and trajectory. Our initial enquiry phase involves all roleplayers in traditional African structures of decision making and reflection such as the Imbizo, Isivivane and Lekotla.
Following an initial enquiry phase, we design a change and community animation calendar that engages the relevant aspects of transition in a predictable, phased manner along with members of the community. The result of this participation is a design for the future that has buy-in and support from key community members and stakeholders.
Examples of electronic community animation processes we have developed include Knowledge Management Africa KMAfrica.com Website Water Environment Transformation Africa Wet-Africa.org Website - a water restoration NGO and the Lesotho Ministry of Health & Social Welfare MOHSW.org Website the government ministry charged with health care in Lesotho.
