  • My engagement goal was to Increase community resilience over natural disaster posed by drought and Flood hazards at Kishapu District. However, I failed to achieve my goal because very few stakeholders were involved to scaled up our efforts and there was no 5 SMART short and long term metric goals. My engagement review is that: we managed to deliver the skills and knowledge on Disaster Risk reduction to grass root leaders and Disaster management committees which was the minority of the beneficiaries. We did not succeed to reach the majority of beneficiaries who we intended to create/increase community resilience over natural Disasters due to the limited specified time period. My plan to overcome this obstacles are to assess and review our performance, set 5 SMART Metric and develop proper mechanisms to receive and provide feedback and complaints from our stakeholders.

  • My engagement goal was to convince 120 communities to register on pump service agreement with our company. The engangement did not go well because there is reluctance among traditional leaders which demotivated communities from signing thr the agreements. My engagement review is that, the tradition leaders behaved so because they were not properly engaged which means the strategy we used didn't materialize. My plan to overcome this obstacle is to meet them one-on-one to find out where we didn't plan well and to modify it to meet their needs .

    The primary obstacle I often face in engagement is that there are always a few people that have not heard about our agency. To be a relevant service provider, the community we serve, MUST know who we are and the services we offer. We try to use social media and email to reach a broader community. It has failed.
    I knew that using a variety of formats for outreach is beneficial for all generations that make up the community. I know that social media and emails are a GREAT opportunity, if done well. I decided that being a casual user does not produce my goal. My next steps require an investment of time and research.
    My engagement goal was using virtual outreach to make a broad impact. However, I failed to achieve my goal because there are MANY elements that contribute to a successful social media and email campaign. My engagement review is that my methods are subpar. My plan to overcome this obstacle is to develop new methods; researching algorithms, successful marketing strategies, and engaging different generations into the implementation process.

  • • What went well? What didn’t go so well?
    • How was your performance in running or overseeing the engagement? (For example: were you fully prepared? Were you a good facilitator?)
    • Did you make the right choices for the engagement?
    • What would you do differently next time?
    Next, gather reflections from your colleagues to see if their perspectives align with or differ from yours. Are they able to assess the engagement in areas that you might have missed, or are less experienced in? For example, they might be able to help you assess the impacts of the engagement on your organization’s relationships, reputation, or risk management. Use their perspectives to help you build a more holistic assessment of your engagement.

However, I failed to achieve my goal because there were a number of issues that were not drawn to my attention by construction crew members who tried but failed to resolve issues.

However, I failed to achieve my goal because we did not invite all of them to every tender opportunities. My engagement review is that around 240 of them expressed mistrust of our tendering process since they had not been invited to bid for these tenders. My plan to overcome this obstacle is categorise them into different trades and skills first. Then to display the database list on our notice board for their knowledge and information.

  • The project was goal was to reduce school absenteeism among girls in public schools in Molo sub-county in Kenya. This was achieved through making and distribution of washable sanitary towels (hygiene kits) to the girls. The performance was good since the short term goal was achieved as our target of 3000 beneficiaries was met since we were able to distribute more than 5000 packages of hygiene kits. However the project was not a success because despite the fact that the beneficiaries carried the hygiene kits home, they did not use them as expected. Some used the liners as handkerchiefs, others sold them to the local women and as a result, the level of absenteeism did not reduce among school going girls.
    Through the stakeholder feedback we were able to identify the reasons why the hygiene kits did not help address the issue of absenteeism as we had hoped. The girls felt that it was very cumbersome to wash soiled kits and also carrying them to school was bulky and embarrassing. As a result our intended goal was not achieved.
    My plan to overcome this problem I to talk to the parents on the importance of the hygiene kits especially for poor communities and also educate the girls of easier way of washing the sanitary towels after use.

  • Engagement: Implementing a recycling program in a residential community.

    Performance:
    The engagement failed to achieve the goal of implementing a successful recycling program in the residential community. The participation and adoption rate of residents in recycling activities were significantly lower than anticipated. The program did not effectively generate the expected behavior change and overall impact on waste reduction.

    Metrics:
    The metrics used to measure the success of the engagement included the percentage increase in recycling rates, the quantity of recycled materials collected, and the level of resident satisfaction. However, these metrics fell short as they did not accurately capture the complexities and challenges of behavior change within the community.

    Feedback:
    Feedback from residents indicated various obstacles and concerns that hindered their participation in the recycling program. Some residents mentioned a lack of awareness about the program, unclear guidelines on recycling practices, inadequate collection infrastructure, and limited convenience in accessing recycling bins.

  • Lack of commitment and interest from the majority of the community members

  • The engagement goal aimed at equipping young girls and women in primary school's with menstrual health and management knowledge and skills. However, I failed to achieve my goal because I did not take into consideration the input of their parents. As such, we reached 300 girls only against our target of 550. More should have been done in identifying stakeholders who could affect delivery of our goal, especially by having forum meetings with the parents instead of using text messages. Nevertheless, the KAP amongst the few girls who participated succeeded our target of 50% by 42% . My plan to overcome this obstacle is to involve the girl's parents and keep them satisfied enough to allow their children to participate in the exercise.

  • Great points. Especially on timing since it can be such an overlooked element.

  • The obstacles that I faces on my engagement goal is the poor attendance and turn out of the participants.

The trained volunteers are enthusiastic in teaching the community members and they say it's thanks to the workshop we had. But on 120 of the community volunteers are active. My plan to overcome this obstacle is to have a meeting with the trained reluctant volunteers to know from them what could be hindering them not to go ahead with the teaching in the community.”

  • We also increased our communication with stakeholders, ensuring that they were aware of our efforts and that we were listening to their feedback. Finally, we worked closely with local authorities and community leaders to ensure that our assistance was well-received and met the needs of the IDPs and communities.

    4. We overcame this obstacle by refocusing our efforts on obtaining permission to provide our assistance, seeking feedback from stakeholders, increasing communication with stakeholders, and working closely with local authorities and community leaders.

My engagement review is that I will select at least 2 Traditional Healer who were not opposed to the idea of being trained by an expert in the field but who is not atrained Traditional Healer, train them as a Trainer of Trainers, so that they can then cascade the training to their colleagues and address their issue of concern that a gobela can be initiated/trained by another gobela only.

  • “My engagement goal was to house 15 clients a month. However, I failed to achieve my goal because there were less opportunities in the housing market than initially anticipated.

  • My lesson learned from failure was not setting my goals taking into consideration the 5 metric step that i needed to involve.
