Community Analysis Course
Course Description
Your community is essentially your focus. It’s the reason you will be running your project and the reason you are passionate about the work you are doing. To make a difference, understanding your community and the needs is integral to refining, expanding and focusing your work.
The purpose of Community Analysis has a twofold approach. It is about capacity building, to reach your community more effectively but it is also to help you to become funder ready. It may be that your project will require extra funding from outside stakeholders. This course will help you gather all the information you need to write your plan more effectively so that it will be more attractive to potential funders.
We will be covering 5 main topics; 1) identity - identifying the values of your organisation, 2) community - your community needs and the connections that you've got, 3) clarity - having clarity of vision for the project, 4) opportunity- recognising the opportunity that you've got to make a start, and 5) capacity - identifying the capacity to deliver both in the short and the long term.

It was such a refreshing moment for me as I went through the training on the topic of Reaching communities.

I’ve realised how important training can be for identifying and implementing core values and vision. This course has been spot on and I’ve been inspired by what you’ve put over.

I have been so blessed by the work and support from Nicodemus, I never realised how much I needed the support and training. Nicodemus have helped me not just in the planning but mentally too, to think big and act on it. They have left a really good impression and one that I have reaped from in many ways.
