Three levels can be recognized in faciliation activity in community-based programs aimed at empowerment of people at local level: individual level (especially when there is a training activity or for example, when there is a referral activity); group level (empowerment activities aimed at CBOs or any other facilitation activity such as an evaluation); and community level (a change in values or culture of the group). But when you look at it from a distance, you can easily find three other levels (which will take you out of the community too, especially when you are trying to scale up): micro, meso and macro levels. Using this methodology, I would like to explain more how a faciliation activity affect the empowerment levels.
This is what I am going to work on it in this weblog, using my experience in facilitation in villages of Iran.
