The 100-point checklist is a self-monitoring tool to assess the extent to which the characteristics of an effective CBI-implementing site are in place. Members of the local and village development committees, cluster representatives and health volunteers can use the checklist by ticking off items on the list and to identify managerial gaps or shortcomings. The checklist covers: community organization and mobilization; intersectoral collaboration, partnership and advocacy; the community-based information system; levels of water, sanitation, food safety and air pollution; health development initiatives; emergency preparedness and response activities; education and literacy; skills development, vocational training and capacity-building; and micro-credit activities. The tool can be used for the following purposes:

  2. Where do we want to go/ be? [long term views and direction];

  3. What must we do to close the gap? [strategy and actions]
