Evaluation
An evaluation strategy will be developed for the PNGBU national Leadership Workshop in accordance with the objects it seeks to achieve. The three objects of the National leadership Workshop are:
1. Develop the capacity for a number of blind people to govern and manage their own organisation
2. Develop advocacy skills so that blind people can advocate for the rights of all blind people at the national and provincial level
3. Prioritise the key issues for the Executive Committee of the PNGBU to pursue over the coming year.
Local Experts
Each session has a ‘local expert’ as one of the presenters. These individuals have been chosen because of their expertise and knowledge in the field or their practical knowledge on the issues covered in that session. Local experts will therefore present on the issues from the perspective of how it may be done in PNG and/or provide examples/case studies/stories of how he or she has done this work in PNG.
The local expert may also need to put some of the more technical materials into language that is more accessible to the participants. That is, although all participants will speak English, the local expert will be on guard for any technical language that is used and either put it in terms that all participants can easily understand or ask the presenter to do so. By giving local examples, particularly using his/her own experiences, the local expert will show that Papua new Guineans can practice all the skills and enjoy all the knowledge that is being provided.
Chairpersons
On the evening prior to the beginning of the workshop a Chairpersons briefing shall be held to advise them of their roles and responsibilities. The key responsibilities for the session chairs will be to:
1. ensure that their session begins on time regardless of how many participants are present – this will ensure that all participants quickly come to realize that session times will be strictly met;
2. introduce the session they are chairing and the presenters;
3. ensure that at least 20-30 minutes is available for questions and discussion at the end of each session – this will include advising presenters when they have only 5 minutes left to speak; and
4. ensuring that sessions finish on time.
