- W1592296076 abstract "Twenty members of Buluba Youth Group assembled under the tree near Isakwa's house one morning near Iganga in Uganda to meet with two researchers. In his mid-40s, Isakwa was a church leader and a quiet, organised facilitator. The group was eager to explain to the researchers how their group came together and to discuss the work it did. The group had formed six years earlier, largely through the encouragement of Isakwa, who was very committed to improving life in his community and in providing sufficient interest to retain young people within the area. He had received a couple of years of secondary schooling and was literate in English. His official title in the group was that of Adviser, and it was apparent that he played a key role in providing new ideas, support, and coordination. Those who joined the group rented land and grew vegetables collectively, but they had little outside contact with NGOs or extension agents and relied mostly on their own experience and newsletters for new ideas on agriculture. However, at one point Isakwa persuaded the government extension agent to run a three-day seminar on 'selfreliance' in agriculture that was open to all community members. The group had many plans for the future, including the building of a village community centre, and its members were in the process of buying roofing sheets with money they had raised from the sale of vegetables. The group appeared unified and relaxed. Let us now consider why it is that some people seem to have extraordinary capacity and enthusiasm to carry out their work, or an ability to make things happen. Participatory planning does not leave behind a community of people all equally able to act on and implement agreed change. The most vocal or powerful members of a community are not necessarily those who ensure that positive changes take place. All the best training and opportunities do not guarantee an output of motivated people able to work to full capacity for the benefit of others. Some people just naturally seem to be more effective and supportive than others. Though Isakwa was an exceptional individual, it emerged that many other groups in the community relied on similar personalities. Who were these individuals, so critical in providing the necessary support to promote and implement changes aimed at improving the overall quality of life of the community?" @default.
