Objective:
Identification of nutrition and household food security related problems that can be tackled with a microproject resulting out of the CAP process, that builds on people’s existing resources and potentials like existing livelihood strategies, in each of the focus groups: landless youth, female headed households, male headed households without oxen and mixed households.
How to facilitate
1. Explain the objective of the brainstorming.
2. Clarify that participants should concentrate the discussion on those HHFS and nutrition related problems, that they think they are able and willing to later address through micro-projects for which they will be fully responsible in terms of planning and implementing.
3. Encourage people to formulate the problem as a statement such as “malnutrition among children”. Ask if everybody understands.
4. Now invite participants to suggest problems which they want to address with a micro-project.
5. Remind them that these projects should build on their own existing potentials and opportunities and that they will be responsible for them.
6. The note-taker should write the problems on a big sheet of paper so that every participant can see them, listing them under each other.
7. Encourage women and quiet people, directly, to express their views.
8. Write all mentioned problems on the sheet.
9. At the end, ask if anybody still wants to add a problem.
Duration of this task: 30 Minutes.
Material needed: 1 very big sheet of paper, big pens (markers), tape to fix the paper against a wall/pin board/tree.
