APPLIED BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE

Organizations working in the area of livelihood, environment, health, gender, savings and credit, natural resources, education, anti-trafficking and human rights, need to work in a context where the communities are grappling with multiple stresses, such as loss of livelihood, displacement, conflicts and climatic changes. Directly or indirectly, these stresses impact any change interventions being attempted in communities and the participation of the communities in such processes. This means that the community workers and the organizations need to understand, support and be capable of partnering with the community while dealing with these stresses.

In this context, effective interventions are those that take care of both the technical and process issues. Most organizations can ensure excellence on the technical front based on knowledge and skills. It is the process front of dealing with the human dynamics of community change and conflict that many organizations find challenging. This is the area that the CPFP certification program addresses.

ISABS launched this program in 2013 and as of now 100+ participants have successfully completed their basic program through four batches. Organisations and individuals have found this program extremely meaningful in enhancing their process skills to facilitate community level groups.

Launching CPFP from 30th Sept to 5th Oct. 2024
