Reflection

|
Philippines-COLC
|
Cambodia-USG
|
|
The
transformation
of
CO-TRAIN
into
CO
Multiversity
in
1998
signaled
a
shift
from
its
primarily
training
focus
to
a
broader
perspective
of
community
organizing.
One
of
the
particular
results
of
this
was
to
assess
the
accomplishment
of
community
organizing
in
the
context
of
civil
society
in
its
goal
of
pursuing
genuine
social
transformation.

This book, as you see,
is a convergence of many people's efforts to make social change happen. With much hope then, motivated by our faith
in one anothers capacity to take risks and responsibilities, let us be

 Community
Organization
This article cannot
answer the question, but it will attempt, after describing the nature of
community organization and its history, to show the indispensable role CO can
play in a national anti poverty effort. There will be more questions than
answers.

LOCOA is a
network of community organization groups from several Asian countries. LOCOA
seeks to replicate ACPO's work, such as: introducing CO to countries
where it is not existing, training COs on a long or short term basis (one to
seven months); organizing exposure trips for COs and their support groups;
arranging workshops in which national groups can exchange tactics and
experiences; circulating information through e-mail and newsletters; arranging
for research and evaluation; and working with other Asia-wide bodies to help
make people's participation a reality.
