Seattle Site of the Week:  
Community Management and Development
CMP Site Map
"The Community Management Programme helps low income communities eliminate poverty by strengthening their capacity for construction and maintenance of human settlements facilities and services, and helping local authorities convert from being providers to becoming facilitators. "The Community Management and Development web site has over a hundred training documents for community mobilizers, and is used by facilitators, coordinators and trainers around the world. "Training topics include NGO and CBO capacity development, gender strategy, environment, management training, poverty eradication, urban farming, income generation, learning an oral language, brainstorming, monitoring, report and proposal writing, role playing, and many others. "We are looking for volunteer translators to put the material into French and Spanish. "The latest news is the start-up of a small electronic discussion group ('loop') on these topics, with participants from around the globe (e.g. Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Ghana, India, Kenya, Malta, Norway, Palestine, Philippines, Singapore, Uganda, South Africa, Tanzania, UK, USA, Vietnam, Zambia, and elsewhere). "To monitor or join the discussion, write bm038@scn.org and introduce yourself." - Phil Bartle |
