Philosophy for CBM workers • CBM workers must never take an action that reduces the community’s’sense ofownership. • CBM workers must become goodfacilitators. • Suggestions for action must comefrom communities,not CBM workers. • Community undertakings decided quickly may be abandoned equally quickly. • The project does not give things to people. • The project does not do things forpeople. • The project assists people to do thingsfor themselves. • The CBM process will only proceed in a community if the community wants it.
