| Abstract: |
Progress Rural is a program designed to provide people with skills in community development, leadership and working with people. In so doing it intends to provide confidence and capacity to rural economies to establish new industries, value add or improve existing industries and reinvigorate rural communities who are beginning to show signs of waning or stagnation. Two key components are Community Builders and Rural Leadership training programs.
Lessons Learnt - Objectives of capacity building programs can also effectively incorporate such ‘intangibles’ as sense of community and place apart from more traditional socio-economic gaols. - There is value in providing capacity building opportunities specific to women – and specifically targeting different age groupings. - Networking is a valuable by-product of training courses and formal meetings and social interaction opportunities are important to build into programs. |
