| CEHC Systems in Program Implementation |
|
Introduction The CEHC is divided into four subsystems which facilitate the effective planning, implementation, and evaluation of community based initiatives (CBIs) Ethnographically Informed Community & Cultural Assessment Research Systems (EICCARS) EICCARS has two sets of programs, one that focuses on the assessment of local communities, and one that focuses on the assessment of other human groups that have attributes of cultural systems (i.e. cultural assessments), such as ethnic groups, organizations, institutions, bureaucracies, and professional groups. Each uses a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods to assess the attributes of cultural systems which contribute to the problems to be addressed by the CBI, or which act as barriers to or enablers of change. Project Design & Implementation Planning (PDIP) PDIP consists primarily of a 2-½ day Project Culture Development workshop which is designed to bring project stakeholders and significant staff members together to collaborate on a project design (goals & objectives, strategies & tasks, timelines, and assignments) and a plan for program implementation. Project Implementation Programs (PIPs) PIPs consist of eight (8) CEHC implementation programs which are designed to assist community-based initiatives in conceptualizing and implementing project input programs in achieving their goals and objectives. Ethnographic Assessment and Evaluation Systems (EAES) EAES consists of several programs in project assessment, and in formative, process, outcome, and impact evaluation Program Training Manuals and Workbooks
