How
This Web Site Came About and Why It is Here
About
this Site
| The
training material you will find here, which you may download to your computer
for free, is mainly for community workers in the field. You
will also find policy, strategies, methodology, curriculum, management
and planning material useful to teams initiating or upgrading any community
empowerment or development programme. |
| The
strategies and methodology described here go beyond traditional community
development techniques, with their rural bias and emphasis on mobilizing
self help groups; it includes modified action-oriented management training
aimed at community members and their leaders, and adaptations of community
organizing methods that are appropriate to the currently rapid urbanization
of the world. Other topics include poverty reduction, gender strategy,
facilitation, income generation, capacity development, monitoring, brain
storm, community participation, social animation, learning an oral language,
and empowerment. Explanation. |
| The
site is a bi-product of the Community Management Programme (CMP),
initially funded by Danida (Denmark), designed by Habitat (UN Centre for
Human Settlements). UNCHS ended its participation in Uganda
in October 1998, and Danida ended its participation in the CDP (Community
Development Programme) of Habitat at the end of 1999. See the
Uganda
archived project documents. |
| This
site, however, continues on through the good will of the Seattle Community
Network (SCN) which hosted it since 1996. It is maintained by Phil
Bartle (CTA of CMP Uganda 1994/98) on a pro bono basis. Reports remain
as archival documents. The training material, for you to download,
print, translate, and adapt for local development by planners, managers,
administrators and community workers around the world, will continue to
be the focus (updated, improved, new material added) because of the enthusiastic
response and demand for it from five continents. See the Community
Empowerment Collective. |
