WorkPackage 5
With no proper structure training provided for staff' capacity building resulted in high Pusat Internet staff turnover rate. This was managed by providing work-package 5 which is for professional capacity building. The main objective is to improve knowledge of Pusat Internet staff for capacity development and technical assistance in order to bridge the rural-urban digital divide. A need analysis was conducted, assets of community and potential concerns were identified. Hence, several modules were constructed for professional capacity building which includes Orientation Workshop, Community Engagement, and Designing Training Modules for Community.

The main purpose of this training was to train the Pusat Internet staff on community participation and engagement methods which ensures that Pusat Internet projects succeed. Specifically, the relationship between the staff of Pusat Internet and community is necessary for any project; without this cooperation, the proverbial white elephant project will result. This training challenged participants’ notions of 'working for community', through encouraging action-based participatory practices that are transdisciplinary, collaborative and critically focused on the ideas of 'working with community’. The participants were also exposed to relevant methods, tools and case studies from the field and provided the opportunity to work practically on a community engagement case.
