Partnership and Collaboration

Aim:

To equip Christians, churches, pastors and other people of faith who are demanded in the new paradigms requiring churches to provide co-ventures in economic development.

Objective

* Be able to determine the implications for emerging individuals around whom economic-development opportunities exist.
* Be able to relate to a scope in the business activity that draws on the community's environment and potential
* Be able to apply the profound wisdom in the communities in the economic take-off plans.

Content:

Many of the possible co-ventures require recognised wide-ranging participation by the members of the communities in which they happen. This is important for Churches to note, and learn to do. It is also important as well for development agencies who have public role to support economic development in communities.

This particular studies begin as a reflective-activity (or an action research) leading to building a framework for supporting a co-venture through dressmaking. It may proceed further as a ministry-development project of significant inter-action with educationists, business leaders, and professionals. A summarised thesis (in 6 to 8 pages) that builds a bridge between theory and practice, within the context of faith-based partnership or co-venturing may be done by participants/candidates as part of the studies.
