Pakistan Centre for Development Communication (PCDC) is pleased to introduce – Do-it-Yourself (DIY) Development Communication Training Workshops for NGOs and non-profit organizations. Introduced for the first time in Pakistan – the DIY Training – is an advanced, highly innovative and effective capacity building approach for imparting knowledge to learners by giving them the power to do it themselves.

A deeper connection with the organization to make it more vibrant and effective. A lot happens within an organization that often goes unnoticed by team members.  DIY workshops provide the opportunity to get in touch with these subtle developments that offer prospects as well as dangers for the organization. By thinking through situations and capitalizing upon assets, team members jointly discover the hidden organization to best place its ethos to a given situation. This connection is vital to make the organization vibrant and effective.

Appreciation for organizational knowledge, skills, and systems that make things happen.  Strategies that teams develop together help them to realize how challenging and time-consuming it can be to make them. Once they become part of the strategy-building process, they get more observant to the knowledge, skills, and systems that are making things to happen within the organization. They care more about how decisions are made and pay close attention to details.

An opportunity to share ideas and commitment.  The sense of reward a team gets from making something with its participation cannot be earned any other way. DIY workshops provide many opportunities for sharing of creative ideas and express commitment to the organization. It is obvious that people learn faster from “hands-on” experience than watching someone else do something.

A connection to other team members. DIY workshops build a greater sense of ‘team’ among groups, as they emerge more integrated and an understanding network of mission champions.

A path to organizational sustainability. In this era of growing organizational expenditure and funding uncertainty, DIY workshops are essential to building the in-house capacity for strategy development. Through these workshops, organizations have learned to reduce their reliance on external consultants and thus, manage to cut down upon heavy costs.
