As you have seen, projects are different from day-to-day activities that an organization undertakes. In a community mobilization, community assemblies and internal meetings are generally part of these day-to-day activities, since they are embedded in the routine of a community, concerned with operational objectives and since they don’t have an end finishing date. On the other hand, a community market event and the construction of a school are classified as projects, since they are unique and limited in time.
