What, Why and Who
What are assemblies?
An assembly is a group that regularly meets to make decisions on specific topics. Some assemblies are open to community participation, while others involve selected participants such as women or farmers in a specific location—but they all aim to include diverse voices in decision-making.
Assemblies hold meetings, some are private and some are open. If they are open, it is possible to participate in them (for example: attending if the capacity allows it, adding points to the agenda, or commenting on the proposals and decisions taken by this organ).
Examples:
A community advisory group for a water and sanitation project, meeting quarterly to review community needs and suggest improvements.
A beneficiary accountability committee that meets monthly to track how aid is distributed and flag issues.
A local peace council that collects concerns about violence and helps shape local conflict prevention strategies.
