What is Navamaga : Training Activities for Group Building, Health, and Income Generation about?

This handbook, which grew out of a timing project for development officers in rural Sri Lanka and which is intended for development workers around the world, consists of more than 50 training activities that enable women's and mixed groups to work together to carry out health and income generation projects. The handbook is based on several philosophies: experiential or participatory learning; valuing one's own experience; and expanding from the person outward. The activities in the book are designed to help the participants to (1) learn more about themselves; (2) develop leadership skills; (3) work more effectively with others; (4) assess personal and community needs; (5) identify health and nutrition problems; (6) set and meet their goals; (7) plan and implement small-scale projects to increase their incomes and improve their families' health; and (8) make needed changes in their lives. Activities include information about their purpose, materials needed, time required, and procedures for carrying them out. The handbook contains anecdotes about village life and is illustrated with line drawings and black and white photographs. (KC)
