PROYECTO DE DESARROLLO HUMANO/OEF/FOV

OEF FIELD STAFF INTERVIEWED PROJ & FOV STAFFS, COORDINATN & RECRUITING COMMITTEES, AND PROJ VOLUNTEERS. FOV INITIATED ACTIVITIES IN ALL PROJ AREAS BUT PROJECT WAS NOT COMPLETED SATISFACTORILY. THE DESIGN OF TRNG MODELS & MATERIALS HAS BEEN BEHIND SCHEDULE DUE PRIMARILY TO AN UNCLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOTIVATN TO ADAPTATN CONCEPTS. VOLUNTEERS TRNG HAS BEEN SLOW DUE TO LACK OF MATERIALS & DELAYS IN INFO/PUBLICATN ACTIVITIES. ALTHOUGH THE DEVEL OF FOV RESEARCH CAPABILITIES IS ON TRACK,IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THE NUMBER AND QUALITY OF VOLUNTEER RESEARCHERS ARE ADEQUATE. OTHER PROBS INCLUDE A LACK OF COMPETENCE IN SECRETARIAL STAFF,INADEQUATE INFO SHARING WITH COORDINATING COMMITTEE & WEAK INFO LINKAGES BETWEEN PROJ & PARTICIPATING GOVT & PRIVATE AGENCIES. EVALUATORS CONTEND THAT PROJ IS WELL ORGANIZED & IMPLEMENTATN OF WORK PLAN IS ON SCHEDULE EXCEPT FOR DELAYS IN INFO COORDINATN. ENTHUSIASM & COMMITTMENT OF STAFF & VOLUNTEERS IS DEEMED HIGH. GENERAL PROJ COORDINATOR IS EXTREMELY COMPETENT. THE NUMBER OF TRAINED VOLUNTEERS HAS BEEN ADEQUATE. ACCOUNTING & MONTHLY REPORTS HAVE BEEN GOOD. PERSONNEL HAS DEVELOPED A GOOD QUESTIONAIRE & TABULATED SYSTEM,AND ARRANGED FOR UNIVERSITY COMPUTER USE. ALSO,DATA HAS BEEN GATHERED ON 12 AGENCIES FOR THE DIRECTORY OF SERVICES. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE THAT PERSONNEL BE GIVEN OUTSIDE TRNG IN DATA ANALYSIS; AND BASE LINE DATA BE COLLECTED ON EXISTING ATTITUDES OF HUSBANDS,GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS,AND EMPLOYERS TOWARDS WOMEN PARTICIPANTS. FOV NEEDS TO RECRUIT ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS TO HANDLE THE INCREASED WORKLOAD. FIELD COSTS BUDGETS SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY LOCAL STAFF. FURTHER,PROJECT PERSONNEL SHOULD ESTABLISH A SYSTEM OF EVALUATING THE CAPABILITY OF VOLUNTEERS IN TRAINING,RESEARCH,AND PUBLICATION. (PART OF THIS EVALUATION IS IN SPANISH.)
