What is GROW? GrassRoots On-site Work

! GROW stands for Grassroots On-site Work and is an integral part of GlobeMed’s model. GROW offers the opportunity for interns to form relationships with members of their partner organizations and partner community. Additionally, it allows the partner organization to better understand GlobeMed’s work and mission, and to share resources and information that will help the chapter raise more funds the following year. GROW has three primary purposes:

1. To strengthen, add to, and expand programs, resources, and knowledge of the partner organization for the purpose of having a positive impact on their community University students have immense amounts of resources at their fingertips. Between professors, online journals, and university funding, few people in the world can access the information that university students have access to at any given moment. GROW allows for these resources to be shared with GlobeMed’s partner organizations to help strengthen their own work and power their missions, ultimately improving the health of their communities.

2. To engage in mutual learning in order to strengthen all aspects of the partnership GlobeMed takes pride in its culture of mutual learning, which facilitates our unending curiosity and our desire to understand the human condition. By embracing this culture with our partner organizations, we are able to both share our own knowledge and, most importantly, learn from others. GROW provides one of the only opportunities for students to learn as much as possible from our partner communities, which will help inform stronger partnerships and greater success in giving a voice to people living in poverty.

3. To ensure long-term stability through evaluation and strategic planning While on-site with partner organizations, GlobeMed students have the unique opportunity to plan for the future by assessing their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Through GROW, students and partners can assess the data collected, the stories told, and the goals achieved in order to plan for the following year(s). By acknowledging short-term successes and setting long-term goals, GROW interns get to shape the future of their partnership and celebrate the work that’s been done.

2012 GROW Training Manual

Objective 1: Explore your partner community’s past and gain historical context for the public health and development issues the community faces today.

15 minutes // Resource: Lonely Planet book and/or website Make a historical timeline of major events, and a map (identify bordering countries, capital city, your partner organization’s location) of your partner country.

DISCUSS Feel free to use Wikipedia or Google to guide this discussion. Use this time to learn as much as possible together to gain historical, cultural and geographical context for your partner community before arriving.

❖

What was our partner country like in 1900? 1950? 2000? How did the historical events of the past century shape our partner country to be what it is today? Was our partner community particularly influenced by past historical or cultural events? Why do those factors give way for the need to strengthen health systems, develop the country, and improve public health programs? How can we, as American students, ensure that we are taking those historical and cultural factors into consideration when working with our partner to create programs and strengthen infrastructure?

! PREP FOR GROW Gather as much information and context as possible about your partner community early on in these first few weeks as you prepare for GROW. Talk to last year’s GROW team (if applicable), professors on campus and other students in the GlobeMed Network who have a partner in the same country or region (refer to pg 33), about the language, religion, culture, etc. Don’t hesitate to ask your partner contact as much as you feel you should know before you arrive. Also, your GROW Coordinator will need to fill out an IRB Determination Form. Read through the IRB Exemption Guidelines on the following page, and the Exemption Checklist found in GROW APPENDIX A. Discuss how your GROW Coordinator should answer the questions.

Welcome to your first GROW Team meeting! Over the next 11 weeks, you’ll use this manual to learn more about your partner, your project, and the GROW Internship. Acquaint yourselves with the FIELD GUIDE and the GROW Appendix, as these resources will supplement your GROW preparation.

IRB Exemption Guidelines A study is exempt based upon the following criteria: 1. Research conducted in established or commonly accepted educational settings, involving normal educational practices, such as (i) research on regular and special education instructional strategies, or (ii) research on the effectiveness of or the comparison among instructional techniques, curricula, or classroom management methods. 2. Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive, diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures, interview procedures or observation of public behavior, unless: (i) information obtained is recorded in such a manner that human subjects can be identified, directly or through identifiers linked to the subjects; and (ii) any disclosure of the human subjects' responses outside the research could reasonably place the subjects at risk of criminal or civil liability or be damaging to the subjects' financial standing, employability, or reputation. 3. Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive, diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures, interview procedures, or observation of public behavior that is not exempt under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, if: (i) the human subjects are elected or appointed public officials or candidates for public office; or (ii) Federal statute(s) require(s) without exception that the confidentiality of the personally identifiable information will be maintained throughout the research and thereafter. 4. Research involving the collection or study of existing data, documents, records, pathological specimens, or diagnostic specimens, if these sources are publicly available or if the information is recorded by the investigator in such a manner that subjects cannot be identified, directly or through identifiers linked to the subjects. 5. Research and demonstration projects which are conducted by or subject to the approval of Department or Agency heads, and which are designed to study, evaluate, or otherwise examine: (i) Public benefit or service programs; (ii) procedures for obtaining benefits or services under those programs; (iii) possible changes in or alternatives to those programs or procedures; or (iv) possible changes in methods or levels of payment for benefits or services under those programs. 2012 GROW Training Manual

Did you know IRB stands for Institutional Review Board? Find out more here.

! If your GROW team is doing research while on-site that does not meet the exemption criteria, you will need to complete the IRB determination form. The IRB Determination form will determine if you require IRB approval; you are exempt from IRB approval if your research meets the conditions in the IRB Exemption Guidelines. The IRB Exemption Checklist will show you how answering different questions will affect whether you need to get IRB approval. ! We recommend that you do not engage in individual research, as the focus of your internship is to work together on strengthening your partnership, not to advance personal goals outside of your partnership. However, if you absolutely must complete some sort of individual research for grants purposes, then work with your GROW coordinator and partner organization to ensure your research will not be harmful to the community members in your partner community or to your partnership in any way.

WEEK 2 // CONNECTING WITH YOUR PARTNER ORGANIZATION BEFORE THE SESSION

WARM - UP ACTIVITY [RE: Brene Brown] -- Discuss the following points, and explore how they can be applied to your GROW experience. ❖ ❖ ❖

What do you think Brene Brown means when she states “in order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen -- really seen”? Who are the people in your lives that you feel you can be around while letting go of your fears and showing your vulnerability? What do you think holds us back from feeling that way around others? [ACTIVITY] List any lessons you would like to take away from this session about the power of vulnerability in global health work and GlobeMed specifically.

((TIPS & SUGGESTIONS)) BEST PRACTICES FOR COMMUNICATION. Can you think of any others to add? ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖

Listen before speaking Introduce yourself and learn as many names as possible Be specific. It is typical of Americans to ask open-ended, “Socratic” questions. You will get a much better response if you ask direct questions. Smile often. Establish positive eye contact with conversation partners, especially if they are speaking through a translator. - Make sure eye contact is the norm with your partners. Be polite. When confronted with a language barrier, speak English as little as possible. Expand your vocabulary; if necessary, actively engage community members with nonverbal communication. 2012 GROW Training Manual

The one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we’re not worthy of connection. Brene Brown

BASICS

❖ ❖ ❖ ❖

What other programs, projects, and initiatives do they have (outside of the one(s) your chapter is supporting)? How, when, and why was the organization founded? What would the community be like if the organization did not exist? (health, development, etc.) Do they often host other international volunteers? If so, who and from where?

KEY PLAYERS

Learn as much as possible about your partner organization early on in the internship. Establish answers to the following questions regarding your partner org within your first week of GROW (record them in your FIELD GUIDE on the “Key Players” Worksheet). Some can already be answered by past GROW members! Use this time to brainstorm and record additional questions your team should explore during GROW.

❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖

Who are the leaders of your partner organization? Who is responsible for managing and evaluating project(s) supported by your chapter? Who do you turn to when you run into a problem during the internship? Who will help you create a security emergency plan and provide you with a ‘safe taxi’ phone number? Which members of the community (outside the organization) are important to your work?

SPEAK WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING HEARD, AND LISTEN WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING CHANGED. 2012 GROW Training Manual

WEEK 3

((TIPS & SUGGESTIONS)) NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION One principle of responsible travel is “treading softly,” which extends to a broad group of behaviors. Relative to most of our partner communities’ members, Americans occupy a disproportionate amount of space, namely in the size of their presence: their belongings, conversational volume and gestures, and cultural impositions. The following are suggestions for observant participation and successful integration: ❖

❖ ❖ ❖

Be sensitive to local norms, and follow cues intuitively, particularly with regards to demeanor, self-presentation (ex: clothing), and physical touch. As much as possible, meet others with humility, on their terms. Remember that interaction is informational exchange. Recognize the value of “play” and lightheartedness in cultivating friendships: fun is universal. Exercise prudence with cameras and when handling money or valuables to avoid uncomfortable or possibly unsafe situations. Acknowledge that as interns, your point of departure is not neutral. Being Americans, undergraduates, and GlobeMed staff members, you cannot be disentangled from your own culture. Conversely, there is no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed of your background, or your privilege.

Be open and honest about your intentions and motivations, recognize and focus on understanding diﬀerences, and strive to do the best work you can in a given context.

DISCUSS

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

WEEK 4

CASE STUDIES + DISCUSSION: While GROW Internships can be incredibly fruitful and productive, students sometimes run into difficult situations. How would you (and will you) respond to the example scenarios below? (1) Your GROW Team has arranged meetings with each of the Program Managers (PM) at your partner organization to learn more about the org’s other activities. When your team of four arrives at your meeting with the PM of the Malaria program, he begins to explain the budget for his program and asks when you can begin writing the grant proposal to get funding for it. Your chapter has already made a $15,000 commitment to the Water & Sanitation program for the next three years. What do you do? CONSIDER: a. Who is responsible for answering? b. What are your options? c. How do you react if he begins to get upset and thinks that there is no solution? (2) Many members of your partner organization are in their 20s and early 30s and often attend the local bar. While your GROW Team often joins them on the weekends, some members have been hearing one person sneak out late on weekdays as well. They think they know who it is based on the flirting that takes place with a member of the partner organization during the day, but they aren’t positive. She’s always back before morning, but the other members of your team are worried about what she’s doing alone at night. What do you do? CONSIDER: ! a. Do you all confront her or just one person? Who? b. If she denies it, do you involve anybody else? c. Do you tell another member of the partner organization if it continues?

BEFORE THE SESSION Resource: [Reading] To Hell with Good Intentions by Monsignor Ivan Illich http://www.swaraj.org/illich_hell.htm Read an excerpt from Illich’s monumental speech, delivered in 1968 at the Conference on InterAmerican Student Projects (CIASP) in Cuernavaca, Mexico. // [ EXCERPT: From the beginning to “...alive enough to be shared.”]

WARM - UP ACTIVITY [RE: Ivan Illich] How do we define the relationship between GROW interns and partner communities? Take time to investigate these questions thoroughly as a group, and to reach consensus about the conditionality of your partnership. ! ! ! ! ! !

1. Do you find yourselves on the offensive against Illich’s line of argument? ! a. Which of his points are particularly inflammatory? ! b. Which of his points require the most sensitive consideration? 2. Besides in name, how are GROW internships distinct from mission- or “voluntourism”-style trips? 3. What would you do if you encountered someone from your partner community with a similar perspective as Illich? 4. Why is it more valuable to spend your money on airfare for GROW, versus donating that same amount to your partner org?

! PREP FOR GROW Quickly read the following excerpt from one missionary’s testimony.

“Have a listening ear. Initially, especially if you’re living in the village, many people will come to the door. Some will come just to say hello; some to gawk at you. Others have monetary needs or physical problems. Most times, they associate a white man with having all the answers. At [the] least, take time to listen. Do not display the attitude that they are just another person out of many you’ve met today. Nor this: ‘Hello. Can’t you see I’m busy? I really don’t have time to listen.’... Take time to look at the big fish Osmano caught with a little homemade fishing pole. Purposely at times go to your local market to buy things, instead of the big city where things are cheaper. Go with the women to get some firewood out the bush or go with the men farming...These are tremendous stepping-stones...” LEARNING HOW TO BELONG | MEL ESH

[STAY ON TRACK] Get your vaccines and travel medication this week.

BEFORE THE SESSION

WEEK 6

NOTE: Bring a copy of your Resource: GROW APPENDIX C Community Toolbox: A Framework for Program Evaluation chapter’s most recent Read through this document for a brief overview of the concept and purpose of Memorandum of Understanding Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). (MOU) to this week’s training session.

WARM - UP ACTIVITY

Share thoughts around the Community Toolbox reading. Then, read the following definition of M&E. Based on these resources, how do you think strong processes of M&E for your partner’s projects will strengthen or add to each of your chapter’s programs (ghU, community-building, communications, campaigns, advocacy)?

1. Monitoring qualitative and quantitative data from programs. 2. Evaluating the data to determine whether programs are fulfilling their intended goals. 3. Translating results into tangible action items.

DISCUSS Read the following *scenarios and discuss how M&E data could be used to help the situation. After each scenario is discussed, read through the example answers provided, aloud. These are just a few of many possible answers! SCENARIO #1 Your program has been frequently carrying out activities and initiatives in the community lately, but you continue to hear some negative comments from community members. You start to wonder if you are doing the right activities at the right places and times and really making a difference, or if you are wasting your efforts.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Monitoring and Evaluation is the process of assessing programmatic strengths and weaknesses, in order to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and overall impact.This process can be broken down into 3 components:

How can you resolve your confusion and assess the best next steps? *Adapted from “Monitoring and Evaluation Basics” from the organization, Raising Voices.

WEEK 6 // WHAT M&E MEANS FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP

2 OF 3

DISCUSS (CONT’D) SCENARIO #2 WEEK 6

A donor is interested in funding you, because she has heard that HIV is a serious problem in your partner community where your project provides free condoms. She would like to fund ARV treatment instead, because she doubts that prevention works. If you had to choose: Would you redirect this donor’s resources toward another program that is more concrete, or would you rather prove to her that the prevention you’re implementing, works? How can you make an informed decision in this situation? EXAMPLE ANSWERS SCENARIO #1: Qualitative data, such as a survey that will be administered by your partner organization, could help you figure out where and when to do activities more strategically to create impact. It could help you to see if the intervention was doing any good, or if changes needed to be made to make a bigger difference in the community. This is an example of how M&E can help you and your partner organization strengthen your programs. SCENARIO #2: Quantitative data, showing the number of women who felt that receiving condoms helped reduce the transmission of HIV and is an effective preventative method, could help you demonstrate the impact of prevention in a concrete way. This is an example of how M&E can be used to strengthen your fund-raising.

The critical practice of self-reflection and analysis is the best- perhaps the only way- for us to improve the quality of our services and to remain viable as long as we are needed by the people we seek to serve. OPHELIA DAHL, PARTNERS IN HEALTH

WEEK 6 // WHAT M&E MEANS FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP

3 OF 3

! PREP FOR GROW Now that you have a general overview of M&E, the next step is to reflect on your existing programs and partnership.

•

What programs, initiatives, and projects are currently being supported in your partner community, by your chapter?

•

Are there any problems or difficulties with these programs that you could use your GROW internship to address?

•

What types of skills and resources can you bring to your partner community to improve these programs, as students? As students, you have access to many resources and skills that your partner may not: university libraries, research databases, technological skills (internet, word, excel), etc. Even simple things like helping with grant writing or teaching others to type could be largely beneficial for your partner organization.

WEEK 6

Use your MOU to answer the questions below. Be as specific as possible, as you will need these responses for next week’s training!

NOTE: SPEAK TO YOUR PARTNER AND CO-PRESIDENTS within the following week, before your next training session, to discover how you can best support them with M&E during your time on-theground. ASK: 1. Do they already carry out M&E? 2. What are their responses to the questions above (are they different or similar to yours?) 3. Can you help strengthen their existing protocols? If so, how? 2012 GROW Training Manual

Objective 7: Further explore methods of Monitoring & Evaluation and dig deeper to identify how they can be applicable to your partnership and time on GROW.

(CONT’D)

DISCUSS Let’s apply this information to your partnership. Use your partner’s responses from your last conversation as a guide to your decision. Consider:

WEEK 7

1. Which programs supported by your chapter are better evaluated quantitatively vs. qualitatively? Why? 2. Does your partner already have established monitoring/evaluative methods? 3. a) If so, how can your team work with your partner to utilize the data more effectively? b) If not, how will you share this information about quantitative vs. qualitative data on GROW?

! PREP FOR GROW Logic models are helpful diagrams showing how you are currently attempting to fix a problem and what types of data can be monitored and evaluated. Logic models are a great way to synthesize the following questions: • • •

What public health issues do our projects address? What is our goal for the community? What types of resources are we using to tackle a piece of the problem? How are we using these resources? What is the intended result of our specific projects and partnership? How will this result make an overall impact on the community?

Use this time to look over the logic model examples in your GROW FIELD GUIDE, then complete 2 logic models for programs supported by your chapter using the templates provided.

ON GROW

THINK: TANGIBILITY, FEASIBILITY, AND PURPOSE.

Logic models can be used to explore all the components of projects supported by your chapter in order to identify where Monitoring and Evaluation can fit in.

Share and discuss your logic models with your partner organization within the first half of your internship. !

Does your logic model accurately reflect what is happening on ground?

Use the logic models to gather your partner’s perspective on where Monitoring and Evaluation can fit in.

From United Nations Development Program 2012 GROW Training Manual

WEEK 8 // WHAT M&E LOOKS LIKE

2 OF 3

WARM - UP ACTIVITY Talk through the following example which demonstrates a completed “Framework for Monitoring and Evaluation”.

WEEK 8

! PREP FOR GROW Use the chart above to fill in the “Framework for Monitoring & Evaluation” template for 2 projects supported by your chapter. This template is located in your FIELD GUIDE.

2012 GROW Training Manual

WEEK 8 // PUTTING M&E INTO PRACTICE

3 OF 3

! PREP FOR GROW (CONT’D) Before leaving for GROW, ask the following questions:

CULTURAL SENSITIVITY AND PHOTO/VIDEO CONSENT Remember to respect your partner community’s beliefs and customs. Some information may be too personal for them to give, and so you need to respect community members privacy. Ask your partner about any surveys or questions that you want to ask to make sure they are culturally appropriate. If you're asking people to record interviews or videotape people, they need to provide some sort of written consent or sign a waiver. To respect their privacy, when you take videos or pictures, you should ask the subjects for their permission. It may not be respectful to take pictures of certain events, like religious practices. Talk to your partner about what is appropriate for media collecting and also materials that you make after your trip.

WEEK 8

((TIPS & SUGGESTIONS))

Evaluation is a link between problem-solving journeys. It not only concludes, it also commences by summing up one journey and preparing you to begin another. - The Universal Traveler

❖ Does your partner organization need you to prepare anything in advance or bring any materials/tools with you on GROW to support their M&E processes? ❖ Have your chapter’s co-presidents and partner organization established a preferred medium for exchanging and sharing M&E data throughout the year (even after GROW)? How often will this data be updated? ❖ How will your GROW team share M&E data collected from your time on GROW with your chapter when you return? ❖ Who will ensure that the findings from M&E will be translated into action?

What is their contact info?

What happens if your flight is delayed? Set out an emergency plan w/ your partner organization and parents -- how will you get in touch with them? How will you decide on a new plan?

How are you getting from the airport and/or city to your partner community? Will this require public transportation? Think about the size of your bag!!!

Check out the packing list on www.inside.globemed.org and cross-check with your partner contact • Despite the stereotypes, in many countries in the southern hemisphere, it gets colder than America in the summer months. Bring a sweatshirt and sweatpants!

How are you going to get your money exchanged? When? Where? What is the current exchange rate?

Do you have EVERYTHING on your GROW Checklist? Have you turned in your Health, Safety and Waiver form to GlobeMed National Office? Have you given a copy to your parents?

Did you get HTH Health Insurance? If not, do you have medical evacuation? Double check, now!

Have you talked to last year’s GROW Team? Ask them for any important packing or safety tips.

Is there anything else you’ve talked to your partner or your chapter about that’s not on this list? Are you ready for them?
