- Multiplier effect takes place when the pioneer is accepted as a leader.
- Its first requirement is the maturity of the community to benefit by the experience of the pioneer.
- It takes place only in activities that are beneficial.
- Another condition for that is it should be within the reach of the community.
- Those who want to unleash a multiplier effect can do so by making a set of conditions available.
- One of them is the demonstration by the pioneer.
- It is necessary that the pioneer is one of them.
- Another is a scheme that finances the community’s initiative.
- A training programme to bridge the gap in skills is another.
- For wider multiplier effect, it is best to withdraw these external supports after a time.
