Resumen
Descripción
This note explores the critical and
innovative role played by 'community
professionals' in the village self help learning
initiative and Gemi Diriya programs in Sri Lanka. It
describes the strategy used by the projects to mobilize and
strengthen grassroots resource persons in support of
achieving the Bank's mission of poverty reduction and
livelihood improvement in rural Sri Lanka. In Gemi Diriya,
community professionals are proving to be a driving force
behind establishing sound village organizations, building
capacity at the village level and promoting
villager-villager learning. Institutionalizing the role of
grassroots professionals by creating a 'community
professional learning and training center' has allowed
the program to scale up in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.
