Small Projects Design and Management. Training Manual for Volunteers and Counterparts. Training for Development. Peace Corps Information Collection & Exchange Training Manual No. T-50.
Wzorek, Carol
The 2.5-day workshop described in this manual was designed to meet the growing concern that small projects administered by the Peace Corps were not truly community projects or priorities. To foster more community involvement in the design, implementation, and evaluation of projects, this workshop is geared to the training of Peace Corps volunteers and community members in project development. The workshop is organized in eight sessions that cover the following topics: workshop expectations/group resource identification; characteristics of successful projects; problem analysis as part of project identification; setting project objectives; identifying project resource needs; testing project feasibility; determining project roles and responsibilities; and monitoring and evaluating small community projects. Each session includes a targeted time frame, a rationale, objectives, instructions for trainer preparation, a list of materials needed, participant handouts, procedures for conducting the training session, trainer notes, and closing procedures. Sample forms and worksheets are provided. (KC)
