PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

AND MANAGEMENT

MIDTERM
Review of Perspectives On Social Welfare and Development Concepts:
A) Social Work - is a practice-based profession that promotes social change,
development, cohesion and the empowerment of people and communities. Social
work practice involves the understanding of human development, behavior and the
social, economic and cultural institutions and interactions.

B) Social Planning - community and government groups and organizations working


together in collaboration to address critical social issues facing a community. ...
Social planning ensures that efforts to deal with social issues take place on a
coordinated and community-wide basis.

C) Sustainable Development - is development that meets the needs of the present


without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

D) Participatory Development - seeks to give the poor a part in initiatives and projects
that are designed by outside organizations in the hopes that these projects will be
more sustainable and successful by involving local.
E) Goal Directed Project Management (GDPM) - is a project management method
which describes planning, delivery and reporting process and also provides templates
which efficiently support this approach. ... It follows a layered planning from top
down. The concept is simple and can be applied to every type of project.

F) Gender and Women Development - Gender and Development was developed in the
1980's as an alternative to the Women in Development (WID) approach. Unlike WID,
the GAD approach is not concerned specifically with women, but with the way in
which a society assigns roles, responsibilities, and expectations to both men and
women.

G) Empowerment and Resiliency Model - Empowerment builds on resilience to


provide the bridge that connects individual power to social power, changing the world
around the individual and local community. Those external changes have profound
psychological impact, building resources that may in turn shore up resilience, in the
case of future adversity.

H) Rights Based Approach - rights-based approach to development is an approach to


development promoted by many development agencies and non-governmental
organizations to achieve a positive transformation of power relations among the
various development actors. This practice blurs the distinction between human rights
and economic development.

Project development
Definitions of Concepts Project management
1. Review of Definitions
Project development is the process and the facility of planning, organizing,
coordinating, and controlling the resources to accomplish specific goals. The process
takes a transportation improvement from concept through construction.

2. Importance
As part of their profession, social workers often generate community
improvement programs and development projects that also allow for local citizens to
contribute to their community's development plans. Some social workers create
possibilities directly with individuals; others assess community needs on a larger scale.

3. Feasibility Criteria
An appraisal exercise intimately connected with the evaluation of environmental
feasibility is the assessment of the project’s impact on the lives of people that live and
work in the project’s area of influence.
The social impact analysis (or social feasibility assessment) can be a very important part
of the general appraisal of PPP projects, since many infrastructure initiatives cause severe
adverse impacts on communities surrounding the site on which they are implemented.

Definitions and Examples of the Following:


1. Social Welfare Program - Social welfare includes healthcare, empowerment, housing
and other programs geared towards assisting the poor, unemployed and marginalized in
society. Such programs include Medicaid, AFDC (Aid for families with dependent
children), WIC (women, infants and children) programs, veteran programs and others.

Example:
The six major welfare programs are EITC, housing assistance, Medicaid, SNAP,
SSI, and TANF. These welfare programs differ from entitlement programs like Medicare
and Social Security.

2. Social Welfare Projects - any of a variety of governmental programs designed


to protect citizens from the economic risks and insecurities of life. The most
common types of programs provide benefits to the elderly or retired, the sick
or invalid, dependent survivors, mothers, the unemployed, the work-injured,
and families. Methods of financing and administration and the scope of
coverage and benefits vary widely among countries.

Example:
Medical Care Programs - They are one of the most contentious and sophisticated
programs of a social welfare system. The medical care benefits range from monetary
compensation for lost wages to coverage for medical bills and ongoing treatment.

Unemployment Benefit Programs - Unlike medical care, unemployment benefit programs


are more common in industrialized countries than in developing nations. The projects involve
providing financial aid to previously employed individuals but those who’ve been rendered
jobless through no fault of their own.

Family Allowance Benefits - With the family allowance welfare program, the government
financially supports families with a predetermined minimum number of children. Some
countries offer the program to all families, in which case the beneficiary has a steady income
source. Others, however, implement the program alongside some other form of assistance,
such as unemployment benefits.

Work-Injury Compensation - Nearly every country has some form of work-injury


remuneration program. It is designed to cover workers of companies of a particular size.
Furthermore, the welfare service is often funded by the employer.
Public Aid - Public aid is more like a surplus program, and it’s designed to offer aid to
individuals not covered by other social welfare services. Typical beneficiaries for the assistance
include:
 The elderly who are not included in the employment-related program
 The blind or physically impaired who are not covered by the work-injury
 Needy families with dependent children.

3. Social Services - Social service, also called welfare service or social work, any of
numerous publicly or privately provided services intended to aid disadvantaged,
distressed, or vulnerable persons or groups. The term social service also denotes the
profession engaged in rendering such services.

Example:

 Social security.
 Parole.
 One-child policy.
 Social welfare program.
 Low-income housing.
 Philanthropic foundation.
 Social insurance.
 Service club.
