Pre-step: Assessing Community Readiness to Engage
Assessing Community Readiness to Engage
This activity aims to facilitate an exploration of your understanding of a community and enable an evaluation of its context and readiness to engage in the community-led resilience journey. This exercise should be undertaken when you are identifying a community to engage in community resilience planning, a critical step to feel confident that the community you are working with is ready.
Stakeholder Mapping Template
This stakeholder map is designed to help you identify who should be involved in early engagement (such as the inception meeting) and your commitment of engagement to them, it serves as a visual representation of the key stakeholders involved in your journey. Mapping your stakeholders is crucial for fostering collaboration and will lead to a more inclusive process, because you are actively considering the range of people/organisations that will be a part of this journey.
The Pitch Template
The ‘Pitch’ for the inception meeting is a key element in bringing community representatives together around a common purpose. This is designed to help you communicate in a clear and compelling manner what is being proposed, and why people should get involved. It helps provide clarity to the community and communicates the value proposition of working together. Ultimately, in the pitch, we want to share with the community what we are offering, what does the program deliver, how it will benefit them and what we see as their role.
