It is planned to develop a comprehensive set of country guides on Appropedia. These will help to prepare and equip aid and development workers, both paid and voluntary, before and during their work, and act as a resource whenever needed.
You may start the country guide for a particular location (country or region). In time a structure will be developed.
General pages[edit | edit source]
Every "country guide" will include information on general issues of culture and preparation needs. Resources for aid and development workers is the starting point - perhaps a guide will simply point to this page, highlighting certain pages as essential reading.
Also some of these pages from Category:Culture and development will be important:
- Cultural exchange in international development
- Dignity of program participants
- Making and correcting mistakes
- Poverty, inequality and cruelty
- Rubber time
Depending on the intended project, some more specific pages will be useful:
