You are in-charge of implementing the Family Planning programme in an area where there is a strong opposition to the present policy. You want to convince the residents of the need for keeping small families. What would be the best way of communicating this message?
Here, we have convince the villagers to accept
the programme while keeping in mind the local sensibilities. Option (a) is the
right choice as villagers are more likely to be convinced, if they are
presented with logic and reasons directly and clearly. Option (d) is also
correct. People, who have already had experience of the family planning
programme will be able to address the misgivings and concerns as well as
explain the benefits and changes the programme has brought into their lives to
the villagers directly. Option (b) might not work. By directly asking the
people to change certain things which are personal and might be part of their
culture might not go down well with the villagers. Option (c) also might not
work. Incentives can only work to a certain extent and people might still
consider it as an interference in their personal lives.
