Best engagement method is to communicate, consultation and be and get involved
Conduct family Visit for girls so that they keep informed about the girls involved in the project
Conduct one on one visits to homes if time permits, if not I would suggest community Town halls. This approach would be able to capture a larger audience of parents in one location and deliver the same message. That would also allow for communication material to be given directly with the stakeholder and allow for in depth Q and A.
Communicate effecting with the language of understanding, consult and collaborate for feedbacks
This could be through community centres engagement where families will be gathered and communicate effectively in language these families would understand.
Very good
How you engage your stakeholders says a lot about the project
organise a FGD during the weekend or a town hall meeting in the evening
I will suggest that Amina plans for a Town hall meeting. With this, she will be able to accommodate a larger audience of parents in one location. This will also help in the uniformity of information to be disseminated and she can have a question and answer session that will address any questions the parents might have.
Consultations can be idea, asking the parent's to express their views, this can be achieved by visiting the girl's parents at their homes
Amina must design bulletins and fliers to reach to this families indicating the advantages of her project. Radio jingles too
the best engagement method should be communication, collaboration and consult
Best engagement method would be to inform, consult, involve, collaborate and empower those involved.
communication is the best way to improve stakeholder management.
for families, amina needs to make some changes too. these stakeholders are at work during day: 9am-5pm. this means one on one meeting may not work. and setting these meeting before 9am and post 5pm is also not very ideal. since these need to be involved and satisfied, the first option would be to agree with them if they can create time within their work schedules (say during lunch breaks. another option would be to set up friendly corners at the work places (maybe outside) so that questions can be answered before the 9am dot. or, the owners of the various work places can be asked to reduce the work hours of their workers on certain days (maybe fridays can be half days) so that the services can also be provided to the families. however, this may come with a costs on amina's part. and new stakeholders have been identified here; employers.
also, the girls can become message ambassadors and relay the information to their families
but how can they be involved, since they are at work all day?
the time aspect is key here
that would help too
very true. it also shows how much value you place on them
that's another great idea. but they need to be asked which time is the best for them also
very true
that's a great idea. but she has to inquire if they can read and how many can actually do that
interactions with the stakeholders is very key in issues of designing the best engagement methods
what happens if a stakeholder suggests times and days outside the work hours of a project (e.g. weekends)
as more revisions are done to various engagement tools, new stakeholders actually start showing up
what happens if including the newly identified stakeholders will affect project scope, budget or schedule
there has to be uniformity and agreement between all the stakeholders involved
if a need is to be changed in the engagement tools, which side carries more weight, the potential stakeholders one or the project's
a correct engagement method is key for successful engagement
what if a donor specifies the engagement method they want you to use?
in an advent that a new stakeholder identified may lead to lose in other stakeholders already part of a project (maybe due to bad blood), what happens?
is there a limit on the number of stakeholders to be involved in a project?
what if disagreements arise among staff members of a stakeholder, what happens?
all projects that are grassroots based mostly succeed
Best way to engage is to first build trust with families and daughters. Tell them about your project and then educate them upon reproductive health, educate girls on safe sex, communicate with them , email them, invite mothers and daughters both so the mother knows what’s the purpose behind the Roots of Health services.
Open forums, advisory or focus groups
Online engagement tools
The best way to engage the families who are concerned and have questions about the root health services is sensitization, organizing an open dialogue workshop where the families will be invited to share their questions and concerns and the project staffs along with an expert will respond to them and also share the successes achieved in other communities as a result of the project to the parents.
I think there is no best engagement method, it is depends on the the steps which Amina followed that helps to understand the local context and the stakeholders need and interest.
To come up with best engagement method that appropriate for the needs and interests of the stakeholders, there must be quick assessment that gives us the right tools.
This is a 2way communication that involves the elite
This is inform, involve and update method
Open workshop and seminar. Limited 2 way communication.
This can be done by bulletin, focused groups, and survey.
Open forum, focused groups.
Open forum.
Workshops
Report, internet, partnership
Involvement, open forum
Survey, workshop and seminar.
Focused groups, open forum to get them involved.
My achieved engagement goal was 45% against 70%. The goal was not achieved because of poor level of language understanding. Engagement review shows that the HSE terminologies are too high for their level. My plan to overcome this obstacle is to speak the language at their level.
Best engagement method is to consult and collaborate with stakeholders.
Consult stakeholders through focus groups and workshops.
The best engagement method that Amina could use to involve and keep the parents satisfied would be through the organization of meetings with the parents to tell them how the project is solving many of the problems that their daughters are facing in addition to addressing any concerns that they might raise
I would invite families to some kind of "meet & greet" event (tea/snacks etc) during which background information would be given + space for Q&As; additionally, such session would help to agree on further methods of keeping them informed
The best engagement method would be involve, having discussions, open forums and communicating
Consultation and communication are the good ways of engagement and also getting informed everytime
And also I will preferably organize meetings for the stakeholders where there will be questions and answers on how to go about the project..I think it will be the best way of informing
The best engagement method that Amina could use to involve and keep the parents satisfied would be through the organization of meetings with the parents to tell them how the project is solving many of the problems that their daughters are facing in addition to addressing any concerns that they might raise
Ideal method will be a one on one meeting and the inclusion of a workshop, this will be easy to drive home the point.
Always best to understand how the stakeholders prefer to receive their information - and then design and deliver your engagement accordingly
Since the parents are always at work during the weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm, scheduling a meeting or open forum with the parents during weekdays would be a wrong decision. A visit to parents house so that individual parents' questions can be answered would have been the best method, but then, that will be very cost-intensive and also, it'll be time-wasting
The best engagement method to use would be setting up a meeting or an open forum with the parents on a weekend when they won't have to go to work and whereby their questions can be readily answered all at once
say hallooo
Amina should conduct families visits consultations during the evening hours probably when the families are back from their daily routine activities to solicit for a better relationship and trust that will remove barriers
Have a door to door interaction with family members with the help of the community leaders like Chairman or Zone leaders. This should be done on weekends or during early evening hours when parents are back from work.
Parents' permission is most crucial for Amina's project. The anxiety and concern of parents should first be understood appreciated and internalised. Engagement should be planned on one-to-one basis to give adequate time, privacy and attention to parents. Engagement strategy should be drawn up keeping the following factors in mind:
Apart from their schools there could be other strategic engagement platform that can be leveraged on, for example visiting of their homes, peer group gathering, and visiting neighborhoods among cluster families and engaging them.
Best engagement method is to communicate, consultation and be and get involved
Conduct family Visit for girls so that they keep informed about the girls involved in the project
I would suggest that the best way to give the information to de parents, is to do home visits. That way they will fill confortable in a private space were they can ask whatever they need. Also, they won´t have to go out in work ours.
Because families are busy and at work during the day, Amina can organize a workshop for them on a particular weekend.
Another method can be that when the girls are coming to the clinic they can come with their parents
The best engagement method is to communicate, provide information and be open and concise about the benefits
To start with Amina must design bulletins and fliers to reach to this families indicating the advantages of her project. Radio jingles too and more importantly she should improve on the communication
Open and honest consulation and conversations with all the affected parties and be sure to invite all involved in each stage as well.
Amina could look, visiting the various girls beneficiaries' homes. This could be over the weekends, which will actually help Amina, talk to the girls and their families together. This then creates a second avenue of interacting with the girls and women outside school and workshops respectively. It also helps Amina take the services up to the girls' and women's homes, building more trust for her services and accessibility. These can be called home visits.
To be executed well, Amina would have to draw up a plan and also have an estimate of the girls' families.
Conduct one on one visits to homes
Use community center engagement
Home to home visit is imperative for the type of community which subjected to Roots of Health programs. Home to homes visit can build trust and engage personally with women in the community. Trust is important in establishing communication regarding reproductive issues. Home to home visit allow for in depth interview which can enable Roots of Health understand the barrier to achieve good reproductive health for these woman
Communication and sharing success stories, engage them as often as possible, Community meetings and use of opinion leaders would be great
Conduct a visit, which then will give you a chance for introductions and then build on engaging further to further elaborate and expand the first meeting by scheduling a more in-depth consultation and engagement which will involve all the relevant persons.
Amina can consider having a town hall meeting with families over the weekends or maintain the one on one meetings in the evening once the families retire from work. The one on one meetings should be kept short i.e. one hour since the family members are already exhausted from work
Best engagement method would be to inform, consult, involve, collaborate and empower those involved.
Improvement of excellent communication skills
Amina can also thing of having community clinic day, where these concerned families might have access to get to know what it is really happening in the project and what are the benefits.
Effective engagement would be method to inform, consult, involve, collaborate and empower those involved.
Get the girl's family involved by organizing a focused group discussion with all the families involved this will be cost and time effective. The focus group discussion should be done at a time convenient for both parties.
Amina could consider organizing community durbar or town hall meetings and allow for opinion leaders to facilitate the engagements in language that participants can understand. This means, there should be a closed-end meeting with opinion leaders or community influencers first.
Equally, she can organise one-on-one home visits to engage families at their convinience.
Amina should recruit and train facilitators who come from the same community with the families to be engaged. These facilitators will in turn engage the families in the evenings after work..
Amina will be able to spread the word, thanks to the parent, and she will be able to accommodate a lot of information about the importance of education
I like study with internet on the Philanthropy University
Conducting Town Hall meetings might be most effective way to spread the word. Meeting should include a representative from the community who supports the program and can provide some additional comfort to the families by speaking and answering questions in their language. As time permits, follow up home visits could be conducted for those who have more extensive questions or reluctance.
Amina should try to identify, communicate and engage her ideas more with the most influential or opinion leaders in the families or communities, which if well accepted would help to improve the number of girls attending her clinic.
