Invitation to Training Program
Date:
31
Aug 2009
Dear Madam/Sir,
Greetings from
GRASSROOTS!
You are invited
to register yourself or sponsor your project coordinators or field
executives, and/or the development workers in your network/ partnership
for our forthcoming trainings.
REASON FOR
CHOOSING THE TRAINING
Conventional
summative evaluation practice involving the use of before-after
measurement of results provides information on the outcomes of an
intervention. Such measurement tells us nothing about the process that
connected the outputs to the inputs and therefore provides no insights
into why a particular outcome was achieved. It is commonly presumed
that simply replicating the same inputs under similar conditions will
consistently produce the same output. But practically the next social
and environmental setting will never be exactly the same and, even if
it were, intervening forces would almost always change the outcome. So
knowing only the result provides no guidance regarding how future
performance might be improved. It is the process documentation that
could help then! Process documentation exercises greatly deepen
perspectives on the context and meaning of development action.
Otherwise too,
the project implementing personnel often lack necessary skills of
documenting and reporting their own achievements in the projects.
Analyzing the situations, the processes of interventions made and the
achievements/ outputs is difficult task for the project personnel.
Training imparts skills of preparing varied types of documents e.g.
quarterly/six-monthly/ annual progress reports, annual report of
organization, folder, newsletter, poster, manual, photo book, case
book, etc. It simultaneously inculcates skills of disseminating the
documented stuff in medium-friendly way. Visual presentation of
documents is central to all types of documents. Moreover, during the
implementation of development projects various case stories and success
stories generate that can not only reveal the processes of execution
but also give rise to learning. But these stories remain undocumented
due to the lack of necessary skills at the part of organization.
Training program is also to impart skills among project executives of
how to write case and success stories.
