EVALUATION OF THE CENTRO COOPERATIVO TECNICO INDUSTRIAL/CIVIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - FINAL REPORT (DECEMBER 15, 1970 TO MAY 15, 1971)

FIELD WORK & STUDY WAS SPREAD OVER 5 MNTHS DURING WHICH SOME ACTIVITIES DID NOT OCCUR SO THAT DIRECT OBSERVATN IS LIMITD. INFO ON THE FOUR PROMOTRS, PROGRAM DIRECTR &AID ADVISR WAS OBTAIND FROM CURRIC VITAE, OFFICE RECORDS & INTRVIEWS. AT FIELD LEVEL,CCTI/CD IS DESIGNED TO COMPLETE A SERIES OF 4 STAGES:EXPLORTN & MOTIVTN,SELECTN SEMINRS,BASIC COURSE & FOLLOW-UP. STAGE 1 ALLOWS PROMOTR TO MEET COMMNTY RESIDNTS TO ASSESS PROGRM RECEPTVTY & NEED. EXPLORTN IS FOLLOWD BY ANALYSIS OF COMMNTY DATA & PRESENTATN OF A MOTIVTN SEMINR TO ESTAB CONTACT WITH RECOGNIZED LOCAL LEADRS & TO PROMOTE COMMNTY RECEPTVTY BASIC 1-WK COURSE TEACHES CAMPESINOS SELECTD FROM MOTIVTN SEMINR. COURSES INCLUDE GOVT PROCESSES,HUMAN RELATNS,AGRARIAN REFORM LAW,HEALTH,EDUC,COOPS,CONSTITUTNL RIGHTS & DUTIES & PARLIAMNTRY PROCED. FOLLOW-UP VARIES WITH COMMNTIES BUT INCLUDES FARM-MARKT ROADS,WATER SYSTMS,PRIMRY & VOCATNL SCHOOLS,CLINICS,BRIDGES,LIBRARIES,COOPS,SMALL INDUS,LATRINE PROJCTS & LAND REFORM. AT FOLLOW-UP STAGE,PROMOTR PROVIDES INFO & SUPPORT TO COMMNTY ORGS,ARBITRATES BETWEEN COMMNTY FACTIONS,LINKS COMMUNTY TO GOVT & BUINESS & OBTAINS TECHNICNS TO ANSWERTECH QUESTIONS. EVAL FOUND TRENDS SUPPORTED BY FIELD SYUDY: MORE TIME SPENT IN STAGES 1 & 4RESULT IN GREATER NUMBR OF NEW ORGS; EMPHASIS ON STAGES 2 & 3 FILL INFO GAPS BUT DO NOT ASSURE COMMNTY ORGS; PROMOTR CONTACT BIAS LEADS TO LOWERD COMMNTY PARTIC. CAMPESINO REACTN TO PROGRM IS POSITIVE & REFLECTD IN: NUMBR OF NEW ORGS;FOLLOW-UP ACTVTIES;FEDERATN OF COMMUNTIES;2 INSTANCES OF LAND REFORMS;WILLINGNESS OF LEADRS & MEMBRS TO HOLD MEETINGS;ABILTY OF COMMNTIES TO DETRMNE A PROBM & ITS SOLUTN. IMPACT LEVEL IS CORRELATED TO PROMTR SKILL & AVAILBLTY & DEPENDNT ON LEADRS SELECTD FOR TRNG. THERE IS HIGH CORRLATN BETWEEN LEADRS TRND BY CCTI/CD & COMMNTY ORG LEADRS. INSTANCES OF RESISTNCE AMONG CAMPESINOS WERE RELATD TOSTRONG LOCAL CACIQUES OR ISOLATN/IGONORNCE FACTORS.
