Social facilitation is about encouraging community participation in shaping and developing their future and providing interventions that promote ownership, financial inclusion and sustainability of projects. Social facilitation is a model that supports participatory development through community empowerment initiatives that enable community members to organise and mobilise resources in pursuit of shared community development outcomes. When used effectively, social facilitation creates an enabling environment for community members to actively participate and take ownership of development interventions aimed at securing their livelihood and better future prospects.
Social facilitation is one of the critical elements in the success of infrastructure projects as it ensures effective cooperation and facilitates coordination of key and important role-players; Social facilitation also creates a conducive and harmonious environment for smooth implementation across and beyond the performance of the project cycle.
