Social Mobilization and Its Mapping of in Nepal – A Study Report

2003

Social mobilization has a long history in Nepal but no commonly accepted definition existed and it was interpreted in different ways by different persons/agencies for their purposes. This study has attempted to build consensus on definition, modality, components and target achievement indicators of social mobilization. It explores the extent to which social mobilization was actually used as a major strategy for poverty reduction; prepares social mobilization maps showing the program areas of various agencies, program activities and coverage; and assesses the cost effectiveness and sustainability of different models of social mobilization.
