Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the "Community Assessment":
It encourages community participation
It is likely to enhance the community's commitment to sustain the project
It is a total waste of time since we never had to do it in the past
It involves all parties, including the Host Rotary Club, the International Rotary Club and the community members.
The Global Grant "form of intention" from District 7390 that you must fill out is:
2 Pages Long
5 Pages Long
10 Pages Long
Written on a Mobius strip with no beginning and no end.
Which of the following is NOT a reasonable “community” definition (well, it’s the least likely to be approved as an appropriate community):
People with a hearing impairment in a defined geographic region for a humanitarian project
People whose first name begins with the letter “Z”
Elementary school students in a literacy project
A specific village and nearby residents in a water project.
Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation have a comprehensive “benefactor” program for the permanent fund which:
Supersedes all previous giving programs and is not a tax free investment opportunity
Is not relevant nor discussed as a part of the “Community Assessment” presentation (and might actually be a made up thing)
Is helpful in clearly defining the socioeconomic “Community” groups to target for your project
Enhances the synergy between the Host and International partners through conjoined and comingled bank accounts.
True or False: A “survey” method of community assessment involves a transit, compass and a level to map the physical layout of a community and it baffles the mind that this is NOT called the “Community Mapping” method.
True
False
True or False: The “interview” method is quick and simple. You just find a couple people on the street, stick a microphone in their face and ask random insensitive questions.
True
False
Why does The Rotary Foundation (TRF) require a "Community Assessment"?
To increase the likelihood that a project will address a "real" need in the community
To increase the odds that a community will support the project or make it sustainable
To make certain that Rotary and the TRF funds are utilized in the most efficacious way
To increase the collaboration between the host partner, the international partner and the recipients of the service provided
All of the Above
When performing a “Community Assessment” you should:
Nurture your preconceptions and prejudice about your target population and incorporate them into your project in spite of the facts that you actually learn about them during your analysis.
Never include marginalized or subservient groups in your analysis because they are worthless and don’t matter to anyone anyway
Always overpromise and underperform for the sake of Rotary’s worldwide reputation
Remember that YOU are the outsider and attempt to make yourself a valuable but unobtrusive partner in the project process.
