From the Guidelines
The SARAR method is not explicitly defined in the provided evidence, however, based on the context of after-action reviews and community development, it can be inferred that SARAR is a participatory approach to community development and education that focuses on building local capacity and empowerment. SARAR stands for Self-esteem, Associative strength, Resourcefulness, Action planning, and Responsibility, as seen in community development contexts 1. This methodology encourages communities to identify their own problems and develop solutions using their existing knowledge and resources. The approach begins by building participants' self-esteem and confidence in their abilities to solve problems, as noted in studies on community development and education 1. It then leverages the power of group association to strengthen community bonds and collective problem-solving, which is a key aspect of after-action reviews and community development 1. SARAR emphasizes recognizing and utilizing local resourcefulness and indigenous knowledge rather than imposing external solutions, which is in line with the principles of community-led development and after-action reviews 1. The method guides communities through structured action planning processes where they determine priorities and develop implementation strategies, as seen in examples of successful community development projects 1. Finally, it promotes responsibility by encouraging community ownership of both problems and solutions, which is a crucial aspect of sustainable community development and after-action reviews. SARAR is particularly effective in water, sanitation, and hygiene programs but has been applied across various development sectors, as noted in studies on community development and education 1. The method works because it respects local knowledge, builds on existing strengths, and creates sustainable change through genuine community participation rather than top-down interventions, which is in line with the principles of after-action reviews and community development 1.
Some key aspects of SARAR include:
- Building self-esteem and confidence in community members
- Leveraging group association to strengthen community bonds and collective problem-solving
- Recognizing and utilizing local resourcefulness and indigenous knowledge
- Guiding communities through structured action planning processes
- Promoting community ownership of problems and solutions
- Respecting local knowledge and building on existing strengths
- Creating sustainable change through genuine community participation
Overall, SARAR is a powerful approach to community development and education that can help communities identify and solve their own problems, and create sustainable change through genuine community participation.
