Training In A Tab
Description
Social Mobilization Approach is used in implementing this project. Earth Aid believes, social mobilisation is one of the best ways to create awareness among community people especially poor and less literate people, help them to organise, empower them for disaster-related decision making so that they can identify and prioritise their needs on or before a disaster. It is also expected to build up capacity for preparation, implementation, operation and management of community sub-projects to enhance their disaster resilience.
There are many failures of technology transfer that result from an absence of human and institutional capacity. This makes adequate human capacity essential at every stage of every transfer process. The transfer of knowledge demands a wide range of technical, business and regulatory skills. Capacity is needed to assess, select, import, develop and adapt appropriate technologies. Earth Aid develops capabilities for the assessment, agreement, and implementation stages of technology transfer by: (a) formal training of employees, (b) technological gatekeeping, by keeping informed of technical literature, forming links with other enterprises, professional and trade organisations, and research institutions; (c) learning by doing-operational experience such as through twinning arrangements with other NGOs.<br />
<br />
Training and human resource development have been popular development assistance activities so far. Future approaches can be more effective by better stressing the integration of a total package of technology transfer, focusing less exclusively on developing technical skills and more on creating improved and accessible competence in associated services, organisational know-how, and regulatory management. The engineering and management skills required in acquiring the capacity to optimise and innovate are essential. Various kinds of high-quality training are needed to embody in personnel of the receiving firm the skills, knowledge and expertise applicable to particular products and processes.
Three types of coordination approaches used in this project: <br />
<br />
1. top-down command, with strong leadership backed by some authority, either carrot or stick; <br />
2. consensus leadership to mobilise key actors around common objectives, normally without direct assertion of authority; and<br />
3. basic exchange of information and division of labour by default, usually in the absence of a formal coordination entity. <br />
<br />
This project is governed through elected field operators in association with local volunteers. Earth Aid's trained team locates potential locations and then recruits locals who are later dispersed to facilitate the tablet based the training. <br />
