Mr. Richard, The Portland Economic Opportunity Initiative works with the same populations except in an urban setting. Many things about the model can be useful in different settings. It has been successfully replicated in the much smaller town of Duluth MN. It is a collaboration of City government and about 24 different non-profit organizations. The focus is on significantly increasing the incomes of of 2600 people through an intensive three year program of workforce or microenterprise development activities with personal coaching, structured peer support and support services. Most participants have barriers like addiction, criminal history, homelessness, disability, English as a second language, and gang involvement. They enter the program below the federal poverty level and leave at the designated Portland "living wage" or having increased their business revenues by an average of 245%. Here is our website. Our outcome data for the program year that ended June 30, 2011 will be posted on the website about 9/1. www.pdc.us/EOI Lynn Knox Economic Opportunity Initiative, Sr. Program Manager Portland Development Commission ph. 503-823-2385 fax 503-865-3629 knoxl@pdc.us From: bounce-37873930-14588394@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-37873930-14588394@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of ofwono richard Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 6:46 AM To: communitydevelopmentbanking-l@cornell.edu Subject: Materials to facilitate business skill development for iliterate rural communities Dear All, We are working with pastoral communities with very low literacy rates and supporting them to diversify their household incomes. could anyone be knowing where i can obtain materials to facilitate selection,planning and management of income generating activities for this category of communities?
