"In ,~~n.15 1:].781 - 2 ­ 13. Summary: GIA is dedicated to vocational rehabilitation of the physically, mentally, and socially handicapped. Although it has been affiliated with international activities foY' over 50 y~ars, especially in Latin America, only recently has GIA sought to develop an international program as such. DPG AID/pha-G-1133 was made to strengthen the capacities of GIA to effectively plan, design and evaluate its rehabilitatiun program for Latin America and Africa. Specifically, the DPG provides funds for hiring additional staff to (a) gather and critically assess the current state of vocatfonal rehabilitation programs in selected Latin American and African countries, (b) plan and develop programs to serve the handicapped in those countries, and (c) evaluate the feasibility of various program alternatives.

The orientation of the international program of GIA has been mod~ emphasize regional development by consortia of PVOs in the fielc ;t single country projects, as anticipated under the grant. InJJigE:, leadership has been identified in all areas to coordinate work. SUllie partnerships have also been formed between individual Goodwill Industries in the U.S. and counterpart branches abroad. Major problems which GIA has encountered and continues to address are: (a) the generally low priority given to vocational ,oehabilitation in developing countries, (b) the limited resources available to indigenous PVOs for this work and (c) the initial resistance of some local leaders to seemingly "forei gn sol utions" to thei r rehabi 1itation work. Al so GIA had to overcome the retirement of its former international director in 1977. A new director, Dr. George Soloyanis, has moved in quickly and ably. 14. Evaluation Methodology: This is a r;.eg.,:!lar.PY~._~t(lJL~YClluati~ in line with annual grant requirements as envisaged in the project paper. As noted in 8(e) above, a full GIA self-assessment is required in.1978 by the grant instrument. This present evaluation is simply a development officer's "desk auditll for tracking purposes. It is based on a .E.VC visit tQ.._GlA..Hea.dquarters in Washington, D.C. in December 1977, a joint.examina­ tion of grant activities by GIA and PVC, several followup discussions wlthDr. Soloyanis and his staff in early 1978, and the attached evaluation report of Dr. Soloyanis, dated December 19, 1977. 15. External Factors: See problems noted in 13 above. NDne of these problems was unanticipated.

16. Inputs: During 1~77 GIA finally achieved full staffing in its international division. See attached GIA report. The Africa program seems to have borne the brunt of this delay in programming, although defermlned efforts have been made to catch up through the hiring of an African Programs Coordinator and Dr. Soloyanis visitations to several West African countries in December 1977-January 1978. Nascent groups interested in projects and/or joint collaboration were identified in Togo, Senegal and Sierra Leone. In Latin America the Grupo Latino Americano - 3 ­ para Rehabilitacion.Profes.s.jpnal {GLARP} wac; established as an independent bodY 'and,-By'agreement, 'all GIA fun~tions were transferred to GLARP heC!-c!quarters in Bog~ta jn 1977. GIA is also working withlhe"'Cciribbean Institute for I'ental Retardation. GIA has bui 1t good working refiHons with ~-.-eY.Qs,.such as the People to People Commi ttee, Partners of the Americas, AFREHAB, VITA, Sister Cities, and PACT, as well as the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps is fu~ding a Goodwill domestic executive to advise them on ~habi lihtion projects in Korea, Thail and iJ.nd the Phil ippines. Agreements have also been written with the Kiwanis and Lion Clubs to in­ volve them in rehabilitation work overseas.

17. Outputs: The ?lARP consortiummatured.duringl~77. It held two xecutive sessions and one'plenary meeting, began a statistical reporting system and a directory of Latin American rehabilitation resources, and mounted two training workshops for Latin American professionals. GlARP ~embers in Colombia, , Peru and have expanded their rehabilitation programs. GIA collaboration with the Partners of the Americas, in the PREP program, and with the Pan American Development Foundation have fostered a variety of partnerships among U.S. and Latin American counterpart organizations to support rehabilitation programs and /businesses for handicapped persons. 18. Impact: GIA activity. under the grant has 9nly just _b.egun to have im~a~~, i.e. achievement of purpose, in Latin America during the second year. GLARP programs attracted support from a Dutch state church group (ICCO) and the International labor Organization (llO); Colombia and Costa Rica have prepared OPG requests; and GLARP is preparing an OPG for a regional· AID project incl uding research, seminars, and a demon stration. -.1b~~~ are._ firm indicators of institutionalization of GIA and GlARP activities in Afrirehabi ca 1.--'--'-"'-itationi nLati n America. There has been_._. no__ impactto- .. _, ,. .,....date in .

19. Goal: The logical framework needs to be re-examined by GIA and PVC to detenntQ~~IA's~oal. No attempt is made here to measure any goal achievement. 20. Beneficiaries: The primary beneficiaries of GIA's work to date have been those persons and organizations in latin America and Africa~ho have sought to increase awareness of and support for vocational rehabilitation for the handicapped within overall development programs. Presumably, handicapped persons and their nations are the indirect beneficiaries, ~ut data are not yet available to assess impact. 21. Unplanned Effects: There have been no unplanned effects per see However, given the substantial accomplishment in latin America to date, despite the generaT'Y"'TOW priority previously given to vocational rehabil­ itation, it would seem in retrospect that much more has been achieved than one had the right to expect two years ago. It will be interesting to see whether equal progress can be made on a new continent, Africa, in the final year of the grant. - 4 ­ 22. Lessons Learned: GIA feel s that the key lesson learned to date has been that the i..~~f.l_~!:rt~a~ion, dev~J.Qp.~I1~ ..and.mati VCl..tion .of local leader­ s...hip in the sine .gua non orpr09£am.J~Y.~lQp.tTIent. A search for further'" lessons will be made in tne'~r~ self-assessment during the final year of the DPG. 23. Special Comments: Attached is George Soloyanis' letter of December 19, 1977, reporting on second year activities under the grant.

I am also AUSTRALIA requesting a consultation with regard to the third year grant objectives; considering recent key staff changes within AID COLOMBIA which impinge upon our project, as well as our own changes of COSTA RICA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC scope and direction, some close redefinitions may be necessary.

PHILIPPINES Arlo Wagner assumed the position of Program Planner on June 13, 1977; Robert Ransom became Director, African VENEZUELA Programs on November 1, 1977; Laura Carlson finishes her assignment as Researcher Evaluation Assistant on 31 December, 1977. Within Latin America, certain decisions were made which reflect the i ncrea~;ing maturi ty and sophi sti cati on of our Latin colleagues. The "Grupo Latino Americano para Rehabilitacion Professiom.,'" was officially established as an independent organization representing programs in ten countries. An agrr.ement was signed between GIA and GLARP, transfert'ing the Goodwill functions in Bogota to the Executive Committee of GLARP. J-' CC )::: ~,,. ~ (~"'..,.;) : ttl' • \ \ . ./ld" .,

They held one plenary and two executive J; - COlTll1i ttee m.e.eti ngs.. Peru an.d Panama b.etwe.en. them attracted some . (.'1\ $350,000 from ICCO for new facility construction., ColOmbia and {Costa-'Rlca' prepared OPG requests. Lima, Panama, Caracas, and Cartagena are anticipating large expansions of their program and have called upon GLARP for planning assistance. Two additional Goodwills may come into existence in Colombia. The program set by GLARP for the next three years included both general and specific items. They are ,pr~p~ring an OPG for a regional AID project and are working closely with ICCO towards a major move to "cooperatives," including research, seminars and a demonstration. The general plan of work of GLARP includes strengthening each country, promotion, and the pursuit of funuing. Other items will be methods to improve the job placement of rehabilitated persons, legislative strategies, community education, and the promotion of new vocational rehabilitation services. P-~iQrity wiJ1 be given to "coop-lrratives," and, given the availability of funding, the estab1isnme'n'tof a "rotary fund" to enab'le the financing of the self­ employed until they are established. Specifically planned are a seminar on international funding sources, and a course on the administration of small industries for the handicapped.

In addition to this major collaborati~n with GLARP, GIA is working very closely with a second organizat1on, the PREP program.of the Partner~ of ..the .. Americas. Joint efforts have begun to stimulate increasing rehabilitation efforts i\1 Bolivia, El Salvador and Haiti. In these three countries, Goodwill consu'ltation will proceed via a Partners relationship in these countries, in all cases involving a domestic Goodwill affiliate in the pertinent U.S. partnership. For example, the Camden, New Jersey Goodwill will seek status as a partner for the Haitian rehabilitation program. The third element of GIA's Latin American rehabilitation program is being explored with the Pan American Development Foundation. They will assist us in the shipment of materials to our affiliates. We are discussing the use of domestic Goodwi11s as collectors, renovators and shippers of major supplies used by PADF in their own programs, . and we are attempting to enlist PADF activity on behalf of businesses run by handicapped persons. We are trying to re'-establish our influence and contact with an ex-affiliate in Trinidad and we have made a new effort in Barbados. Through the Caribbean Institute for Mental Retardation, based in Jamaica, we are exploring our possible contributions towards the long term economic stability of the adult handicapped. In the Pacific; we are assisting Australian architects to plan new facilities for Australia, and we trained the executive director of our new Philippines affiliate. We are now working very closely with our P~.ilippinescolleagl!es and shoul,~ have ~n OPG ready for the local AID office soon. ..' A significant relationship has been established with the Peace Corps program i n the_~aclf.ic,. Pl ans are developing for the Peace Corps to fund a Goodwill domestic executive to visit Korea, Thailand and the Philippines to advise the Peace Corps on the need for volunteers in rehabilitation in those countries, and to advise GIA as to the need for additional GIA followup. This collaboration is being extended to all Far East coun~es, and further consultation will be dependent upon country Peace Corps director replies. For Africa, careful preparations have been made for a five-country exp'lor~t.ion, .fact .fi.ndi.ng,,'and de,ye10pment mission to begin in December. Offering us expertise, consultation, introductions, and other facilitations have been the People to People Committee, PACT, the Peace Corps, and Sister Cities. Multiple contacts have been made with African government and private sector officials prior to the trip, and PACT and People to People each arranged long personal consultations here in Washington between GIA and rehabilitation leaders from Togo and Senegal. . ------_. . .-. _ _-_._~ --.' -.. _.- . We are cooperating strongly in the creation of ~EREHAB, a coalition of Ofgani"Zati ons-naving-inte'r'naliQna.L Jnte.rests in Afri ca. For­ grO'UjrsaTready"},avrng rehabilitation interests, we shall share program information, planning activities, sharing of responsibilities, in ways that enhance each members activity. Other groups having African interests will be encouraged to allocate time and energy to the handicapped also. One function of the AFREHAB coalition may be increasing PVO awareness of the need for inclusion of handicapped persons in ongoing African development programs which would otherwise / neglect handicapped people. Turning to the United States, we have established agreements with Kiwanis International and Lions International designed to involve their chapters in overseas work with the handicapped. Domestic Goodwills are being enlisted in Par~ners of.the Americas, Pan Amerjcan Foundation for Development, the Peace Corps, and in a national Goodwill solicitation of power tools and machinery for overseas sheltered workshops. These new strategies have dictated a broadening of our original objectives but they have the promise of far greater impact. Upon my return from Africa at the end of January, the International Division staff and I would like to share our new objectives with AID.
