The community service has been guided by ROAD principle in implementation of its activities. The Realization-Option-Action-Decision and Reassessment are basic component of the principle that guides in each activities and process. In each block of component as mention below is showing different sub-components for guiding the community work at village level. The community service encourages and supports the implementation of livestock related activities at village level. Each service goes through different steps. In the pre visit, a small team from project and link providers becomes familiar with the village background, informs the villagers about the planned participatory needs assessment, explain about objectives and scope of it, establishes contact with village leaders and cross-checks whether the selection of the village corresponds with target of the organization.

Participatory needs assessment (PNA) is an intensive planning exercise. Staff from the project discusses current problems and the means to overcome them with village communities and target groups. Villagers analyze their strength, weakness, opportunities and threats.  They rank the project ideas, discuss first steps of cooperation and establish the foundation for future support. The community action plan is the crucial part of the option. In this stage technical detail, roles and responsibilities and people contributions are clarified with the group executive committee. The implementation phase (Action) demands particular attention and care from the community mobilisers. They encourage and assist the groups and beneficiaries to manage the implementation phase, they provide advice, training and direct support where necessary. At the same time they have to make sure that groups deliver their inputs in time and according to adequate standards. Evaluation is for joint learning: what can we do better next time, where are our strengths and weakness as a local organization or as a community? After that organization can think about possible next steps to deepen and widen the impact of a project or to start on a new one.
