This manual provides a variety of Peace Corps trainers with a training model that deals with work-related frustrations of volunteers. Materials are designed specifically to address the need for training volunteers in the subtleties of working with host country bureaucracies and counterparts. Although intended for inservice training, the materials can be incorporated into preservice training. A trainer reference for bureaucratic effectiveness and working with counterparts is designed to help the trainer become familiar with the manual. It also offers guidelines on how to prepare oneself for the role. Sections cover methodology, structure, responsibilities of the trainer, suggestions for the trainer, training techniques, assessment, and glossary of training terms. The two modules--bureaucratic effectiveness and working with counterparts--are each divided into sessions. Each session is divided into rationale for training session, goals, trainer preparation for session, materials needed, prepared newsprint/blackboard, handouts, and procedures. Any required handouts are provided. Topics of bureaucratic effectiveness are introduction, dominant features of the bureaucracy, and strategies for bureaucratic effectiveness. The module on working with counterparts includes theories of motivation, action strategies for increasing effectiveness of counterpart relationships, and counterpart management and feedback. (YLB)
