Indicator	High Mobilization Capacity	Low Mobilization Capacity
Sustained leadership	Strong leaders have emerged to keep activities on track and motivate other community members to stay involved.	The effort is muddling along without leaders who have the qualities to provide direction and motivation.
Formalization	Clear procedures, manuals, ground rules, and role definitions exist to provide a framework for community member participation.	Community members function in an ad hoc manner, and newcomers have to define their own roles.
Rewards and incentives	Those involved feel valued and appreciated and receive rewards that make them feel their efforts are worthwhile.	Participants don't feel that they receive rewards that compensate for the cost of their involvement.
Internal and external communication	Active members share experiences and information on a regular basis, and the effort is well covered by local media.	Members rarely communicate with one another outside meetings or contact the media to get coverage of their activities.
Community organizational know-how	A community member with years of successful community organizational experience is actively involved in recruitment and resource mobilization.	The active members are inexperienced at working on a community-based project.
Behind-the-scenes support	A highly effective support team functions to handle day-to-day logistics and provide technical assistance as needed.	Tasks sometimes fall between the cracks or logistics are poorly handled because there is no one specifically responsible for their functions.
