A Vision Seminar is normally two days in length and is used to introduce the CDE concept to a new country or area. The participants should be leaders of organizations who might be interested in an integrated approach to community development and health.
As a result of the Vision Seminar, the leaders normally choose people from their organization who have the capability and interest to implement CDE in a target location. These people then participate in a TOT I, which is the first of three 5-day seminars. No specific health or development teaching is done in a TOT.
Training of Trainers I (TOT I) TOT I equips people to become trainers of Community Development Educators (CDEs). The intent is that they will choose a location in which to start their own Community Development Education (CDE) program. TOT I focuses on the development philosophy of what CDE is and how to start a CDE program. Morally, it emphasizes teaching others. As a result of TOT I, the trainers return to their area, choose a community in which to work, enter that community, and create interest within that community to implement their own CDE program.
Training of Trainers II (TOT II) Once a trainer has mobilized his community, he returns for the second phase of training. TOT II focuses on developing teaching materials, methods, and curriculum. Morally, the emphasis is on follow-up and relationships with one another. As a result, the trainers are ready to train committee members and CDEs.
Training of Trainers III (TOT III) TOT III focuses on the evaluation of the project as well as how to multiply the project into other areas. As a result of multiplication, this seminar also deals with management. Morally, the emphasis is on mentoring others. Not all trainers come to this seminar: only those who will have responsibility for evaluation, multiplication, and management of their project.
This specialized training is primarily for nationals who live in a non-moral area devoid of any strong, character leaders. The family will be the only CDE worker in a village. The training incorporates 12 hours of TOT I to give participants an overview of how a CDE program works. Health and development teaching is included for instruction in how they can help their neighbors physically and morally.
The purpose of microenterprise is to educate and train individuals and finance new, very small enterprises to improve the participants’ and their families' economic stability and well-being. The increased employment and family income improves the diet, health, and overall well-being of a given family. These participants do not normally have access to such services.
Community Health Education Perinatal Support (CHEPS) Within the CDE program we have created a pregnancy support and education program. Specially trained CDEs are enabled to teach important pregnancy issues which promote healthy pregnancies and provide emotional support throughout the pregnancy and postpartum period, including infant care. Monthly home visits and group sessions are conducted for "Moms" in the village.
Our vision through the HIV/AIDS program is to find effective solutions to combat AIDS and bring hope throughout the world. CDC through the CDE strategy provides HIV/AIDS modules that will modify and address this crisis situation by creating community awareness, advocating lifestyle and behavior changes, prevent infection, and offering compassionate care of those already infected. Our goals include addressing the root causes of HIV/AIDS of poverty, high-risk behavior and gender inequality.
Participatory Agricultural Development (PAD) PAD is community owned and directed, the very opposite of traditional extension models. The community elects a committee of farmers chosen for their interest in research (innovation) and willingness to serve. The testing (research) of new ideas/varieties/methods is the core activity. The committee conducts this research on farmer priority topics identified through a diagnostic process in which all are invited to participate. After each experiment the committee reports its results back to the community. It can be either problem or opportunity driven.
Good Business Basics training encourages businesspeople to run their business with moral practices. As a result, changes can occur in how they treat their employees, customers, suppliers, and even their competitors in a moral and loving approach. In addition, they are challenged to use profits from their business to help others in the community. This first seminar is to build vision for Good Business Basics.
The second seminar is for owners of small businesses who want to improve their management and organizational skills and learn how to become servant leaders. Participants do not have to go through the vision building seminar to go through the skill building seminar. They are independent of each other.
Capacity Building is designed for small Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Community-Based Organizations (CBO) to be better able to manage their organization. This training is similar to the Good Business Basics seminar but adapted for the small nonprofit business or agency. It too is built around being a servant leader. The training helps the organization appreciate what the organization is doing well right now and to dream what it might become as they learn about the organization and structures that should be in place for this to happen.
