Description:The Women ' s Enterprise Management Training Outreach Program (WEMTOP), a project of the Economic Development Institute, is a participatory action-learning three year pilot training project which began its design phase in 1991 in three countries in Asia: India, Philippines, and Bangladesh. The design process for the WEMTOP Pilot Project, analyzed in the present study, generated a " social methodology " for participation, capacity-building and transfer of ownership to intermediaries and grassroots clients, thus improving the potential for sustainability of intended project outcomes. The social methodology is an evolving one, since the WEMTOP design is a learning process in which the principles are put to the test and the process is continuously refined to ensure adherence and commitment to the principles. The principles that guided EDI were: building technical and managerial capacity among intermediaries; decentralization of ownership and responsibility for effective program implementation; consensus-building to ensure collaboration among donor and field-level stakeholders; and, facilitating an evolutionary and flexible design process, to ensure responsiveness to concerns and problems articulated by stakeholders. WEMTOP is aimed at strengthening the capacity of intermediary NGOs to deliver management training to the poor, specifically landless and assetless, women in the rural and urban areas. WEMTOP is developing appropriate training materials and a decentralized delivery mechanism to train these women to sustain their enterprises and increase their capacity to control both the enterprise and the income they derive from it. The WEMTOP framework promotes one element, viz., managementtraining, in a package of services, consisting also of credit and technical skill training, required to promote enterprise sustainability. Consistent with this framework, participating NGOs should already have been involved in supporting women ' s income generating activities and have the capacity to facilitate the provision of credit and skill training from other sources. Program management at the country level was handled by members of country-level adhoc Steering Committees (SCs) assisted by a Project Coordinator. The country-level activities during the design phase were: a review of the microenterprise literature; a survey of the microenterprise sector; a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) workshop; and a Project Design Roundtable. This report presents examples of the WEMTOP framework in India and the Philippines and offers a case study about the intensive process of WEMTOP design to promote local ownership of the project. The elements found to be important to ensure ownership were: the identification of field level functionaries; evolution of collaborative relationships; and evolution of mutually acceptable financial and administrative procedures and guidelines.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
