James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., The purpose of the project is to strengthen the capability of a local government to be responsive to the nutrition needs of the community and, on the other hand, to heighten awareness and capability of the community to demand such services. There is a need for this kind of intervention in order to balance the weakness of the bureaucracy with the flexibility and self-interest of a community-based organization, on one hand; and the wavering sustainability of the community organization with the institutional mandate of the local government, on the other. The unique characteristic of this project is the partnership between the local government and the community which is hoped to develop responsiveness and self-reliance respectively. Target groups include community's formal and informal leaders who will be given a training and hands-on exercise on nutrition program management. The use of inter-active learning approach and development communication in nutrition education is a replication of a theorized experience. Success indicator is the realization of the objectives of the project jointly planned and implemented by the community-based organization and the local government.
