Pool of Resource Persons (PRPs) - 2001 |
Pool of Resource
Persons (PRPs) is a unique approach to build adequate strength for
the capacity building initiatives. This approach draws upon the
experienced persons available with various NGOs across the state.
While these persons continue to work in their respective
organisations their services are utilized for specific number of
days, which is mutually agreed upon. WASSAN facilitated upgrading
and fine-tuning of their skills after identifying their training
needs. Exposure visits and Training of Trainers were organized.
Their field level expertise and skills were utilized in developing
various training modules. These resource persons were then
involved in delivery of capacity building inputs at various
levels. This process provided a foundation for the decentralized
capacity building strategy.

:: Gender
Training for Indira Kranti Patham ::
- In any program,
gender sensitivity and orientation is important to
bring about change in the gender relations and have
positive impact on women. The capacity building inputs
on this aspect alone becomes a gigantic task, which
cannot be dealt by any single organisation.
- Indira Kranthi
Patham (IKP) being implemented by Society for
Elimination of Poverty (SERP) is one such programme
where gender sensitivity and orientation is an
essential integral part.
- WASSAN was
assigned the task of preparing the module on Gender
sensitization and gender oriented action plans and
organizing the trainings for the staff. The module was
prepared in a workshop with resource persons from HIDF.
Pool of Resource Persons (PRPs) with field experience
and aptitude for training were selected and were given
Training for Trainers (TOT) on this aspect. Using the
module these Pool of Resource Persons are organizing
the trainings at the district level.
- This enabled
WASSAN in organizing large number of training programs
within a short time. The Resource Persons also gain
experience while continuing to work in their
respective jobs. The trainings are well appreciated
and are already showing impacts on ground.

The initial efforts were to form state-level resource person’s
pool with Heads and senior persons from the NGOs. Later second
level people were also taken into this pool. In the delivery
process a need was identified to effectively link the resource
persons with the district level programs. This led to the concept
of Capacity Building Networks at district level.
