Finding Answers
A Development organization can find itself in a trench, where new ideas either seem too overwhelming or the energy of the organization is more focused on itself and its own survival than on the vision and needs of its target group. Here’s how DevAct can help:
- Assessment of reasons why grassroots community initiatives have failed, and how more participation and motivation can be achieved.
- Exploring new ideas and give training for sustainable income generation, community education and community tourism initiatives.
- Analysis of community dynamics and processes in development, and restoring motivation.
- Ensure that your ideas remain low-key and sustainable, gender and family focused, and non-threatening to the environment and minority groups.
- Provide links with valuable partnership networks that are build on thirty years of development work.
- Analysis of community dynamics. Oral testimony research can be offered in your target area, to analyse community perceptions and response. We can do that for you or with you, or train your staff.
DevAct members manage a unique and secluded tented retreat centre on the bank of the famous Okavango Delta where we, together with a maximum of 12 participants, can go through an intense process of three to five days around some of these or similar questions.
