LORET MILLER RUPPE

Loret Miller Ruppe was appointed Director of the Peace Corps by President Reagan in February 1981. Since that time, she has directed the activities of more than 6,000 Peace Corps Volunteers per year who serve in 63 developing countries around the world. She is the longest tenured Peace Corps Director.

Peace Corps was established by Congress in 1961 to promote "world peace and friendship" by sending Americans overseas to share their skills and talents with the developing world. Over 120,000 Americans have served in 94 countries in the last 25 years. Peace Corps Volunteers work primarily in education, health, nutrition, agriculture, forestry and rural development.

Since assuming office, Mrs. Ruppe has traveled to Central and South America, Africa, Asia and the South Pacific visiting Volunteers, staff and host country government officials. She says she has "the best job in Washington. I get to work for world peace, travel, and everyone thanks me for the work of the V~lunteers . "

Leading the agency during its 25th Anniversary year, Mrs. Ruppe is especially proud of its reputation. "These Americans (PCVs) (go) forth as individual Statues of Liberty ... sent by their country as citizens in freedom. Ten million days of service by all those thousands in the cause of peace-a living monument to all those who served, to all those who were served .... Now, through our symposiums and other anniversary celebrations, the American people have a better understanding and appreciation for the Volunteers' good work."

Prior to being named Director, Mrs. Ruppe had traveled extensively, including the 1978 Conference on Africa at Ditchley Park, England. Mrs. Ruppe is also a former president of the International Neighbor Club IV, a Washington, D.C., organization which works with government and congressional officials and foreign diplomats.

Mrs. Ruppe was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She attended Marymount College in Tar- rytown, New York, and Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mrs. Ruppe has received many honorary degrees as Peace Corps Director, including a Doctor of Laws from the University of Notre Dame where she was the commencement speaker for the Class of 1984.

Following her marriage to Philip Ruppe in 1957, she began a career as a volunteer organizer and civic leader. In her hometown of Houghton, Michigan, she served as Chairperson of the Houghton United Fund Campaign, President of the St. Joseph's Hospital Guild, and as an active member of the Houghton County Republican Committee. In 1966 she assisted her husband in his successful campaign for election to the 90th Congress. He represented Michi- gan's 11th District until his retirement in 1979. In 1980, Mrs. Ruppe served as Co-Chair- person of Michigan's Reagan/Bush State Committee. The Ruppes resi de in Bethesda, Mary- land, and have five daughters. 5/86 Twenty-five years of making a difference in our world. Forestry and Soil Conservation Measures

for Protecting Water Supplies

Sam Kunkle

National Park Service

Disturbances of watersheds caused by over-grazing, deforestation, mining, shifting cultivation, road construction or other activities can lead to losses of soil by erosion and to the degradation of a watershed's mantle of protective vegetation. These soil and vegetation disturbances can then lead to reduced stream flows during dry seasons, to sedimentation of public water supplies in reservoirs, to the clogging of irrigation systems, sometimes to localized flooding and to other problems affecting that most basic human need -- water.

There are a number of watershed protection projects where Peace Corps

Volunteers can play a key role in helping restore watersheds to their vital role of protecting water supplies. Activities may include: revegetation of degraded areas; gully correction and streambank protection works; planting of protective vegetative bands; construction of "micro-catchments" for runoff harvesting and other projects.

The paper will be be pretty good: it'll range through a personal philosophy of development work to pro posed resolutions from the American Speech-Language- Hearing Association on work in developing regions to a short view of international politics a s practiced from Was hington these days. All right?

Although there is no Peace Corps program in Zambia, there may be one

in the not-so-distant future. This paper explores a topic of specific

relevance to Peace Corps programs in Zambia, as well as other sub-Saharan

African countries.

Women are the principal agricultural producers in many African countries.

lfuny agricultural development programs and projects in this area, however, have

fallen short of expected goals because the role of women was neglected in

planning and implementation. One reason women have been ignored is that

Western developers often assume that agriculture is the domain of men. That

bias has persisted in the transfer of Western agricultural research and

technology to developing countries. The imposition of Western values, coupled

with traditional patriarchal structures of family organization in developing

countries, has effectively prevented most women from actively participating

in the development of their countries, and from bettering their own lives.

Some trends have been reversing the impact of this Western bias. Many

bilateral and multilateral aid agencies have recognized the need to design

projects that take women into account. More and more professional women

are working in agriculture in both developed and developing countries. These

women are making their voices heard at the policy level. As international

attention began to focus on the "poorest of the poor" in the early 1970s

(finally validated by Robert McNamara of the World Bank), it soon became

painfully clear that women and children were the largest proportion of that

population. In particular, women who head their own households were at risk.

With a growing number of female-headed households, Zambia is used as a case

in point to discuss possible development strategies that include the needs of women.

During my own three years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Sierra Leone,

West Africa during 1974-77, I observed male PCVs working with male Sierra

Leonean farmers. In 1977, the first group of female PCVs were trained in agriculture, but by the summer of 1981 both male and female agriculture

PCVs were still working predominantly with male farmers. Specific ways in which the Peace Corps can be an effective tool to promote the participation of women in agricultural development will be discussed, especially if such a program should come into existence in Zambia. In current development surveys and planning in Zambia, the role of the female farmer is not being thoroughly investigated. If the Peace Corps would target the role of women in agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa, it could act as a catalyst for new directions in situation- and country-specific, as well as global, development. ABSTRACT Increasing the Developmental Impact of the Peace Corps by Jerry Eckert and David Harpman

This paper compares the Peace Corps with USAID as differing modes for placing Americans abroad as part of our foreign assistance efforts. We focus on contrasting PCVs and AID contract employees, the two sets of individuals most directly in contact with the host country nationals in an operational sense. An institutional analysis highlights differing strengths for these two groups. Yet certain structural gaps appear from the analysis as well which constrain these individuals' impact on Third World growth. A brief economic analysis emphasizes the 10:1 cost differential between AID contractors and PCVs. We question whether the U.S. can continue to rely on contract professionals hired under present AID rules. Finally, evolving trends in the developing countries themselves are examined to provide additional rationales for looking to new or modified institutional forms under which American services are brought to bear on development problems. The paper then proposes an extension of the Peace Corps concept to embrace a novel program thrust for the next 25 years. The idea of a "Professional Volunteer Corps" is developed, blending the strengths identified above and overcoming most of the deficiencies. The proposed program is essentially a graduate level Peace Corps, capturing the energy, attitudes and cost levels of PCVs along with some of the program structure inherent in AID technical assistance projects. We envision volunteers with higher skill levels than the normal B.S. degree. We suggest that volunteers be posted to clearly defined professional or paraprofessional jobs and that these jobs be organized around project or program foci to achieve a critical mass. We further address the important issue of relationships between Professional Volunteer Corps activities and decision making/managerial level staff in host country governments, the intent being to insure that PVC activities are well integrated into the development mainstream. That this idea can work is shown by examining several case studies known to the authors in which PCVs are now serving in the capacity and with the focus envisioned. That the idea has merit is shown by a detailed description of potential benefits: 1) to the host country, 2) to the Peace Corps, 3) to the volunteers, and 4) to U.S. foreign assistance programs. ..

National Seminar on Future Directions for the Peace Corps

THE ROLE OF VOLUNTEER OUTSIDERS IN DEVELOPMENT: INSIGHTS FROM AFSC'S EXPERIENCE

(Panel 4, July 9)

The appropriate role of volunteer outsiders in development must be based on a sound analysis of the development process itself. AFSC views development, wherever it takes place, as essentially a process of empowerment of people and communities to reduce their vulnerability to economic, social and political forces and enable them to realize their full potential. From this perspective flow certain key principles about development: (1) Development is achieved by people and communities themselves; it is not something done to them, for them, or around them. (2) Development problems and needs, as well as goals and strategies, are those identified by the people. (3) Learning economic, social and political skills and processes that can be used now and in the future is a critical aspect of development. (4) Development is a long-term process which proceeds at the pace set by the people and which will not be completed in the life of one project or the service term of one outsider.

There are certain clear implications for the role of outsiders--whether volunteers or not, whether expatriates or not--that spring from this view of the development process: (1) The outsider must be acutely sensitive to local, history, culture and values, and hence the appropriate initial role is that of a learner--learning from the people about the complexities of their lives. (2) The subsequent role of the outsider will depend on the critical decision as to which group or community is in greatest need or will be best served by his or her intervention. (3) The outsider's specific role in relation to this identified group should emerge from a convergence of the interests of the group and the values of the outsider. (4) The outsider must strive to make his or her role less and less necessary in order to increase the self-reliance of the group, and so will seek to be a supporter or catalyst rather than a leader in the community. (5) The outsider should not place too much emphasis on concrete, visable accomplishments during a short term in the community. Identifiable results will vary depending on the role: if the community has sought technical assistance, material outputs may be achieved; but if processes for empowering the people are the focus then the results may be unobservable for years to come.

Even given this carefully circumscribed role of the outsider, AFSC finds that such persons can frequently play a constructive supporting role in development. Based on its experience with an international youth service program in the 1960's and its ongoing reconstruction and development programs around the world, AFSC can identify certain general issues which should be addressed in specifying the role of volunteer or semi-volunteer expatriate outsiders: (1) What should be given more weight, the potential contribution made by the outsider or the personal education received by the outsider? (2) Should the outsider always have special skills to offer, or can a generalist also be effective? (3) How should volunteers be prepared to play the limited role described above? (4) How long should a volunteer presence be maintained in a particular community or project and how can the outsider's role be •

devolved to the local group? (5) What should be the volunteer's relationship to the government and local organizational structures in the host country; should he or she be under the supervision of local institutions? (6) Should volunteers be placed with non-government voluntary development organizations in the host country? (7) How does a volunteer deal with the political issues and conflicts that are an inevitable part of the development process? (8) What should the relationship be between the volunteer and his or her own government and its policies; is a non-government volunteer agency preferable?

Mr. Andrew E. Rice Citizens Committee on Future Directions for the Peace Corps c/o International Development Conference 1401 New York Avenue, Suite 1100 Washington, D.C. 20005

Dear Mr. Rice:

In response to your letter of May 13, I am enclosing in outline form the essence of what my proposed topic consists of. Since there will be many people speaking on different topics on the same panel, I would hope to, at best, just briefly mention the various areas of cooperation between the travel industry and the Peace Corps (Returned Peace Corps Volunteers actually) . I would speak no longer than 15-20 minutes and keep the facts and figures to a minimum, although the numbers are overwhelming.

As far as serving as a rapporteur, I would be most willing to assist in whatever capacity is needed. The topic I find most interesting is #4 on July 9--Matching Volunteer Supply to Changing Needs: A New Diversity? If that panel is open for a rapporteur, I would like to be assigned to it. If not, any other would be fine.

I hope the outline is satisfactory. If there are any other questions or suggestions, please let me know.

Sincerely, ~~ Doris Hicks Yo~ g Enclosure Resume of Doris H. Young

Dear Mr. Rice,

Enclosed please find a synopsis of the paper I would like to present in your "National Seminar on the Peace Corps: What Future Directions?" I talked with someone in your office today and was encouraged to know that some of the sessions may be dealing with themes related to my paper idea.

I am a professor of communication with a special interest in intercultural communication. I have co-authored a book, Communicating with Strangers: An Approach to Intercultural Communication, and have edited a number of books including Cross-cultural Adaptation: Current Research. I am deeply interested in the Peace Corps operations. It symbolizes something that I believe is an utmost importance to US-foreign relations.

Thank you for considering my paper idea.

Sincerely, v~~ Young Y. Kim, Ph. D. Professor of Communication

Paper Synopsis Young Y. Kim

BECOMING INTERCULTURAL: A PHILOSOPHICAL GROUNDING

Aside from the "official" purposes of sojourn, a Peace Corps volunteer must be equipped with a clear sense of personal philosophy. This philosophical grounding serves as the na~gating force in meeting daily challenges and in accomodating cultural differences in ways beneficial to one's personal growth.

Coping with an unfamiliar milieu presents an enormous amount of stress. Concepts such as "culture shock" and "culture fatigue" describe various manifestations of stress exprienced by the volunteer. The volunteer faces difficult moments of self doubt, insecurity, and frustration. In the course of continuous inter- actions with the host culture, the volunteer goes through a generally predic- table phases of adaptation as documented in many studies.

Successful adaptation can be attributed to numerous factors. Conditions of the host environment, clarity of the volunteer's roles, as well as his or her personality dispositions and skills, contribute to both immediate and eventual success. Yet, beyond all these factors, there must be a profound personal vision-- through which one rises above specific challenges and constructs a coherent meaning and significance from them.

The vision advocated here is that of "becoming intercultural"--the process of coming to grips with one's own psyche and hidden forces of the home culture operating in it. In this process, one is increasingly able to identify with, and relate to, cultural idiosyncracies of the host society. This process requires at least a partial "disintegration" of the existing selfhood: The duality of "pain" and "growth" characterizes the progressive personal transformation from a cultural to an intercultural being.

As one approaches a higher level of interculturalness, one also develops a clearer understanding of self, a greater affirmation of others, and a deeper respect for human varieties. A higher level of psychic resilience and behavioral repertoire is achieved, which enables one to adapt to and manage various life circumstances.

For a successful journey into a foreign land, one needs to have a firm hold on a personal vision of becoming intercultural. This philosophical grounding, along with technical and social competence, will help the volunteer to accomodate cultural differences and lay groundwork for a long-term personal achievement and maturity.

Dear Mr. Rice

I am pleased to be invited to take part of the Peace Corps Seminar on Future Directions this summer. The topics of great interest to me are environmental issues of deforestation and natural resource use. I support the idea of a panel session with some coverage on the role of natural resources in future directions of international development.

The topic I would like to present is "Soil Conservation in a Small Central American Nation". It will include a brief discusion and slides on Peace Corps involvment on traditional agricultural practices, rural extension service, terrace construction, check dams, reforestation, erosion constrol on rural roads, and in-country research on soil conservation in a small, heavily populated country. I will try to show the small but intensive effort by a national government to manage their natural resources.

My background includes a BS from CSU in 1973 on the Science of Watershed Management. My work related experience includes several years as a Forester with the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, two and a half years in El Salvador with the Peace Corps (1976-78), and five years as the District Hydrologist with the BLM in Northwest Colorado dealing with energy development. My current position is the National Park Service· in Ft. Collins with projects in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Denali, Yukon- Charley, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Parks in Alaska.

Although I may not be able to contribute much to the philosophical direction of the Peace Corps, I hope my experience overseas will add to the seminar.

Proposal for Presentation of a Paper (summary) : This paper will examine issues concerning reasons underlying the success or failure of crosscultural training programs. Why do some programs succeed and others fail? Key cultural values which impact on the "triangle of training" will be explored. Methods for collecting cultural information will be discussed. An extensive, annotated bibliography raises critical training issues, especially when high tech and low tech cultures join forces to resolve host-country problems.

Mr. Andrew E. Rice Citizens Committee on Future Directions for Peace Corps International Development Conference 1401 New York Ave., N.W., Suite 1100 Washington D.C. 20005

Dear Mr. Rice:

Encl osed is a paper entitled "Campus Strategy Contracts" submitted for presentation to the conference on "Future Directions for the Peace Corps" July 8 - 12, 1986 at Ft. Collins, Colorado. I plan to attend the conference and the AUSUDIAP conference being held at he same location. This paper is to present some of my experiences in working as a campus liaison person with Peace Corps since 1973. I have had contracts nearly every year since 1973 to do recruitment and awareness programs. I started with the ''Farm Traveler Program" in 1973 going to Iran to advise on agricultural activities that Peace Corps was heavily involved with. I returned to Iran in 1974 under a similar program and then went to Malaysia for Peace Corps in 1975. Since then I have also presented seminars to Peace Corps volunteers in Micronesia and Mauritania plus have directed the Peace Corps Strategy program here at Arizona State University. I feel I can present considerable experience in working with the university recruitment program that will be of value to others who seek this area for their volunteers. s;aerely'4 jtL Ph~ Stiles, Ph.D. Professor JULIANE M.

Training at the Beginning }\~;:~~ I ./ dY This will be a historical perspective of the t during vr . '?t the first few ye~- of Peace Corps' existence. A review of the r training of volunteers in the early sixties will be given,

The training philosophy , the design and the components of the training program will be examined, Preparing persons for overseas work included: technical studies, area studies, language, American studies, world affairs, health and medical training, physical training and Peace Corps Orientation,

The Peace Corps' relationship with the university community was very uniq~e. How and why did we choose universities and other institutions

(for example Outward Bound) to help us in the training. Eeace Corps also did in-house training, such as in Puerto Rico, had field experiences and had incountry training. Gradually)returned Peace Corps Volunteers were used in the programs. Examples of very special programs, such as the Volunteer Secreaaries and the Doctors' programs- which attempted to train entire families for Peace Corps service will be discussed,

Are some of these techniques still relevant~ What is ~ and was

PC ~ contribution to the field of cross-cultural training and what has been its impact in higher and adult education:

Juliane Heyman was a training offficer and deputy director ~f NANESA, Divsion of University Relations and Training, 1961-66. Also served as Coordinator of Cross Cultural Studies in two Peace Corps University Programs, In 1979 and 1980 she was a consultant to the African Regional Training Resource Office of the Peace Corps in Senegal.

In additon to her Peace Corps experience she has worked on many development programs for AID, universities and non-profit organizations. Presently she is the Director of Professional International Serminars and Travel and Vice President of Flagship Travel. She also teaches international relations at Santa Barbara City College, July 111!!: "Promoting Understanding of Others among Americans"

It seems Americans are waking up to the fact that they've overlooked a great national resource--Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs). vfuether they've been back two months or 22 years, the understanding, knowledge and perspectives RPCVs bring home are increasingly valued in a society which grows more global daily.

Businesspeople whose fortunes vary with the fortunes of developing countries, teachers whose students grow up with several cultures, public officials and private citizens who are concerned about world peace and the distribution of basic goods and services are among the people who could learn from the Peace Corps experience.

This explains much of the rationale for Pe ace Corps' Third Goal: "Promoting understanding of others among the American people," which unti l recently was not formally implemented at the national level. Two years ago, a private, national group of former Volunteers (independent of the Peace Corps) put together a Development Educat ion Program. This group, the National Council of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (NCRPCV), designed the program to encourage, facilitate and support RPCVs' efforts in carrying out the Third Goal.

Development education presents an opnortunity and a framework for Third Goal activities. It is a process many RPCVs have been involved in since the day t hey returned --making Americans aware of the concerns ~nd realities of developing countries a nd their people. Former Volunteers can continue their involvement in development back home by taking an active role in, for example, the following: --Community programs on hunger and other development i ssues they encountered --Media coverage of their countries of service --Class room teaching on the areas and issues which comprised their overseas experience (These and other options will be expl ored more fully in the presentation through actual programs organized by RPCV groups and individuals.)

Am ong the resources and services the Development Ed ucation Progr am offers RPCV s a 1·e: (1) res ource directories of print and audio-visual ma terials, some of which are available on loan; (2) handouts describing processes for doing development educa tion; (3) training workshops designed to give hands-on experience in basic skills and project initiati on; (4) project seed grants; and (5) network building and information exchange among former Volunt eers and target groups (e.g. RPCV teachers and journalists), as well as privat e, voluntary organizations (PVCs).

The voices of RPCVs across the nation have tremendous potential. Former Vol~tcers can carry sol io, firsthand knowledge of devebpment realities to the citizens of a nation -..rhos e policies have great impact on t he fort unes and futures of developing nations. Returned Peace Corps Volunteers are natural init iators of exchange programs, such as Peace Corps Partnerships and Sister Communities, and natural development educators for such diverse sectors as schools, busi ness communities and media.

This session will examine ways these activities and programs have alrea~y taken place and how RPCVs and other interested Americans can better implement Peace Corps' Third Goal in the future.
