In CWTS, we are concern with the

development of the human person in all

of its dimensions. Since the human

person is both the object and subject of

CWTS, all our actions and frameworkfor undergoing training is for the

improvement of the quality of life of the

human person in all of its facets,

and that includes not only the

community and its members where wewill render our services, but most

importantly the improvement of the

quality of life of the traineesthemselves. Training students for

But then we are going back to the samequestion. . .

What is development in the context ofNSTP-CWTS?

In the context of CWTS, we mean the

following when we sayDevelopment

Michael Todaro (1978) describes

development as:

a multidimensional process, involving major changes in social structures,

popular attitudes and national institutions

acceleration of economic growth, thereduction of inequality and the eradication of

absolute poverty.

Todaro adds that development in its

essence must represent the entire

gamut of change by which the entire

social system, moves away from a

condition of life widely perceived asunsatisfactory and towards a situation

or condition of life regarded as

materially and spiritually better.

Scientists advocating the economic

aspect of development found theirtheories wanting because it focuses on

one aspect.

Aside from economic, development also

has political, social, cultural, institutional

and environmental dimensions

Dr. Gonzales attempts to synthesize the

various meaning of development in thecontext of people-centered

empowerment by describing it as the

mobilization of people and resources.

It is the use of technology in harmony

with the environment. It is people-

oriented and participatory as well asindigenous..

Development is a concept associated

with improvement. It is a certain type

of change in a positive direction.

True development empowers people.

It aims to be relevant, responsive,

effective, efficient, economical,

equitable and sustainable

Community Development (CD)

is a comprehensive approach to

progress which involves the process of

managing community change byinvolving citizens in a dialogue on

issues to decide what must be done

(their shared vision of the future), andthen, involves them in doing it.
