X. Organizational Development and Leadership Program

The program of organizational development and leadership consists of promoting and strengthening the community organization as well as men and women leaders who are capable of developing self-directed processes that will inspire them to better their levels of life as well as become proactive leaders who contribute to the solution of problems and necessities for the construction of a fair and mutually responsible society, which focuses on generating justice and a nation which is multilingual, multi-cultural, and multiethnic.

The communal organizations are the base and sustaining force of the communal self-development and are the actors and active participants of the process of human, social, economic, and political development and community physical infrastructure. CESSMAQ is a resource for training, consultation and connection to resources and based on these elements, the present plan is developed.

The training is executed with integral focus that has social, political, economic, biblical-theological, and cultural context as well as a technical component.

1. General Objective

  • Organize and train the communities so that in a reasonable manner they may carry out processes of communal self-development, which have the effect of bettering the level of life and a society that is fairer.

2. Specific Objectives

  • Train and develop men and women leaders who are technically, socially, and biblically-theologically prepared with Christian principles and values, and are capable of promoting community changes that are self-developmental.
  • Organize and train the communities for their involvement in the construction of social, economical, cultural, ecclesiastical structures that are fair and promote justice, life and values of the Kingdom of God.

3. Goals

  • Organize the 25 communities that the present plan impacts. At the end of 5 years, there will be 50 organized committees: each community will have their committee of integral development and their female development committee.
  • Develop a plan of technical-social and biblical-theological training that will train and form 175 men in committees of integral development and 175 women in 25 female development committees.

    At the end of the 5 years, the committees will be technically trained and will have their strategic and operative plans in process of being carried out; socially, they will be involved in local and regional processes of development in which they will be present and proactive and in the biblical-theology they will have actions and clarity about their mission as leaders and Christians in the construction of the kingdom of God.

  • In the fifth year of work, promote that the committees of integral development (men) and the female committees of development, who are more advanced and solid, be constituted into Associations and obtain incorporation so that when CESSMAQ is dissolved in the communities, these associations will give continuance, continuity, and sustainability to the processes of development initiated and carried out by CESSMAQ. Gradually they will assume the work that was carried out by CESSMAQ.

    When CESSMAQ removes itself from the communities, the constitute associations will also assist the committees and communities that for diverse reasons fall behind and are more lax in their processes.

    CESSMAQ, according to the experience obtained through these processes, will assume a new role and will be constituted in an advisory and channel capacity or as a connection to financial, technical and other resources. The trainings will be more specific according to the needs of the associations of which will be determined with SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats).

    NOTE: Incorporation: Legal aspect by which the government legally recognizes an organization and moreoever, investigates it. As associations of a community character, incorporation provides trust and guarantees their existence and their objectives to contributing organizations, both non-governmental and governmental.

  • CESSMAQ will channel to the organized committees technical and financial resources and facilitate relations with other governmental and non-governmental bodies to integrate and coordinate activities of a diverse nature.
  • The women will enter and will impact the socio-political, productive, ecclesiastical and cultural life of the communities in an organized and proactive manner with proposals and will make decisions that are inclusive and fair.
