Who should be involved in the initial Planning Training provided by P/PV?
The Planning Training is a one-day training with three parts. In part one, the implementing agency should invite all community stakeholders such as resident leaders, collaborating organizations, political and governmental leaders, and key community stakeholders. This part of the training consists of a PowerPoint presentation explaining the history, key components, evaluation, and replication supports of Plain Talk. It gives the community leadership a good understanding of what Plain Talk is and is followed by a question and answer period. Part two consists of a windshield survey (drive thru) of the targeted community to give P/PV staff a clear understanding of the geographical area being served by Plain Talk. The third part of the training includes only staff from the implementing agency who will be directly involved in implementing Plain Talk. This is a strategizing session to develop a recruitment plan for the community mapping process.
