Feedback by group members and facilitators

• The words and message should go to the crowd very clearly and un-necessary music can distract the crowd from receiving the right message
• The message should be very clear and uniform
• The message should contain the components of Community based Group i.e. VHC and Community monitoring of Health Services etc.
• The message should only contain Community based Monitoring message and not promotion of healthy behavior, it may distract the crowd from the focus subject
• Lyrics and tune should not be from very popular track but it should be more indigenous
