Training outline
The success of your training depends on how well you prepare. Below are some
important points to consider that will help you (and your partner) to prepare:
· Contact key people in the community well in advance of the training. Explain the
purpose of the training and the importance of inviting couples to this training. Key
people can help you spread the message and prepare the ground for the seeds of
change that you hope to plant!
· Ask key people about the most convenient time to conduct the training so that
both the husband and wife can participate.
· Consider asking couples to apply for the training to get their commitment to
come as a couple and to attend all training sessions.
· Try and identify male and female role models in the village and encourage them
to help with the training. Role models might be men that do allow the women in
their families to take part in decision making or men who assist their wives with
what is considered women’s work. It could also be women who manage a coffee
business and who are doing well.
· Organize your work in advance! Ideally you organize for one training session per
week which means that the training would run over 5 weeks. If weekly trainings
are not possible at least make sure you don’t deliver sessions back to back – make
sure there is at least a one day gap between the training sessions!
· The Family Business Management Training (FBMT) is organized into five sessions.
Each session is approximately 4 hours long – but it can be shorter or longer
depending on how you teach it and how the participants respond.
· If possible check out the training venue. Imagine the activities and how you can
implement the training at this venue. You might want to ensure that the training is
held in a place which is quiet and peaceful. You don’t want spectators at the
training (remember the confidentiality of the training).
· Go through the handbook (this handbook) and make notes to help you. Always be
well prepared before you start a training session. Read the instructions carefully
and imagine how it will run (“make a movie in your head”).
· Ensure you have all the materials you need before you go the training sessions.
Each session lists the materials you will need.
The activity title and number are at the start of each activity. There is
also a suggested length of time for the activity.
The materials you will need are listed next
The objectives of the activity are listed next. The objectives will help the trainer to
keep focussed on what is important.
Lastly the key learning points are listed – these are the main things you want the
participants to learn from the activity
Next are the steps that you (the trainer) will need to follow. Each
step contains the information you need to get across to the
participants. Each step has a number on the left side so you can
keep track of where you are up to!
1 It is a good idea if you can teach this course with a partner. If you teach it with a
partner then when your partner is teaching their steps you have the opportunity
to go over the next steps you will teach so that you are ready.
The mak for one trainer to end their steps and for another to begin is shown by
the footprint symbol (below!)
Make sure you cover each step and all of the information in each step. Each step
is necessary for people to be able to understand what you want them to learn.
When you become very familiar with the steps in each topic you will be able to
style things a little more. In time you will come up with your own training style!
TRAINING JOURNAL
Keep an exercise book to write notes and comments in. This is called a training
journal (or training diary). Use the training journal to write down any observations
about what works and what doesn’t work during the training, or any comments
people have made about the training, or any great answers to questions that you
want to remember. This will help you to learn from experience so that you are able
to improve the course and your training skills for next time
Write down any questions people have asked that you could not answer. This will
remind you to get back to them with the answer. It is very important to get back to
people with answers to their questions (even if you have to say you couldn’t find an
answer!) because it shows you respect them.
Write down the time and date you did each training, and how many people came to
each training and their names. This is a valuable record that can be used to evaluate
the course and to work out who should get a certificate at the end.
You will always need the following materials whenever you teach this course:
ENERGISERS
During the course it is a good idea to use energisers – especially after a meal!
Energisers are short activities that help to increase everyone’s energy level. Nogut ol
i ai slip! At the end of this handbook there are examples of energisers.
You will need to develop you own training outline on butcher paper. Use the training
outline on the next page to do this. You will need to put the training outline long
ples klia at the start of the training so everyone can see what they will be doing –
and you will also need it for the course evaluation. When you develop your own
training outline try and use simple pictures or illustrations to describe each activity.

1 Explain that you are here to work with coffee farming households (tupela marit)
on improving their family business. This training will help them to improve
their family business.
It is also important that participants understand that this training is not linked to
any coffee buying.
Make sure participants understand that this training is for tupela marit and that
both husband and wife are required to attend.
1
Everyone at the training brings with them a lot of knowledge and experience. It
is important that everyone feels free to share their knowledge and experience so
1 everyone can learn from each other.
Emphasise that if anyone isn’t clear about something they need to ask.
Lastly put the training outline you developed (on butcher paper)
2 long ples klia. Briefly go over what will be in the five sessions so
everyone has a picture of what will happen.
Ask the participants to take 1 minute to think about two things in their lives
they want to change long stretim sindaun. They can change anything they
want; situations, persons, behaviour, things, kain kain. There are no limits!
You (the trainer) can start by saying your name and the two things you would
want to change.
Then ask each participant one at a time While listening to the contributions
to share with the group their name and of the participants have a go at
1 the two things they want to change. paraphrasing what they say!
Pay close attention to the answers, paraphrase them, and then provide a
summary.
Try and come to a conclusion that change is important to improve our lives.
Explain that change requires courage. Are we, men and women, ready for this
challenge? See if everyone accepts the challenge to be open to change
Make sure rules regarding respect, listening, confidentiality and participation are
included. Rules are need
needed to make people feel comfortable in the training but
you don’t need rules for everything – yupela ol bikpela manmeri pinis na yupela
2
yet inap long bosim yupela yet
yet!
It is a good idea to get participants to aagree on a sign or word that will remind
them about the rules. This can be a word such as “rules” or a clap of hands if
they are late or raising both hands or pointing to the rules poster.
Understanding household
households (15 minutes)
Tell the person who couldn’t balance on the stump that they are allowed to ask
their wife (or husband) to assist them to remain balanced.
Then repeat the exercise. It should be possible for the person to balance with
the help of their wife (or husband).
Next ask participants why they think that couples are invited to this training.
Make sure you repeat the responses you get and observe who provides answers.
Are only men responding? If only men respond you can ask women to also
contribute. If you don’t get the responses you want don’t force it!
Make the point that couples are invited because they both make up the
household. The only way to improve the wellbeing of a household is for tupela
marit long wok bung wantaim.
The lesson from around the world is clear – if women have the power to make
decisions and have a say in how household income is used then the family does
better – and the community gets stronger!
3
Explain that for this training it is important that both husband and wife are
present. Emphasize that it is not only the presence of both that we need but also
the participation.
How does the kumul fly if it uses only one wing? It flies in circles!
Ask if everyone has understood why it very important for couples to go through
this course. Try and get responses from women as well.
Their participation is a sign that they want to make changes to their household!
Explain that you now want each couple to sit together and think about
what they want their household to be like in 5 years time.
Kirapim tinging pastaim. Ask them the following questions (you don’t need to
get answers to these questions – the purpose is to get them thinking!):
Show everyone an example of your own household vision (like the one below).
Explain the pictures that you have drawn and what they mean.
Give each couple butcher paper and marker pens. Ask each couple
to draw pictures together of what they want their household to be
like – what they dream about and what they want to achieve.
Make sure that they don’t think about a better house only but also about how
2
they will live and work together! What do they want their family to be like?
Allow 20-30 minutes for everyone to draw their vision then get everyone
back together again. If they are not finished with their pictures tell them that it
doesn’t matter since they can take more time to develop the pictures at home.
Family business management training 13
Session 1 Exploring our household
See if one couple would like to share their ideal household picture. Make sure
that they explain as a couple what they want their household to be like.
If the couple did not talk much about sharing responsibilities and working
together then ask them if they plan to do so.
Make sure to praise and thank the couple that shared their vision.
Tell everyone they can keep the marker pens and Give couples more butcher
the butcher paper. Suggest that they continue to paper if they need it
4 work on the visions for their household at home.
Encourage tupela marit to put up the vision for their household on the wall of
their house - it will remind them every day what they want to achieve.
Also tell participants that they will need to bring back their household vision
posters later in the course.
Introduction (5 minutes)
Explain that in order to achieve our driman we have to start by looking at where
we are now and then deciding what we would like to change.
1
Explain that the roots show the different sources of income that a household has
1 in a year. The branches show the household expenses in the same year.
Make sure everyone is clear that you can make an in-out tree that shows
income and expenses for each month, or for three months, or for six months, or
for a year, or laik bilong yu. But in this course bai yumi wokim in-out tree
sais bilong yia tasol!
Show everyone how you have used symbols to represent the main sources of
Family business management training 15
Session 1 Exploring our household
household income and symbols to represent the main household expenses.
Also show everyone that the size of the root matters – if it is the main source of
household income then it will be the biggest root. And the size of the branch
matters – if it is the main household expense it will be bigger than the other
branches!
The roots nourish the tree and make the branches grow and have healthy fruit.
Em nau wankain household bilong tupela marit. Sapos yu gat planti moni kam

wanpela meri mas bekim pastaim na bihain wanpela man bai bekim na bihain

1
Make sure that everyone understands that listening is more than being quiet. It
means that that you have to try and understand what the other person has said
and you have to show respect for what they say.
If someone speaks and you interrupt then the person might not have said
the most important thing.
If someone speaks and you soim olsem yu no putim ia gut o yu les long tok
bilong ol this is a sign that you don’t value the contribution of others. This
will discourage them to continue or contribute again and valuable
contributions might not be heard.
2 Explain that we will look at the roots first – the income for the household!
Ask what the main income sources will be for a typical household in the village
over the next year. This is just an example olsem noken brukim het long makim
olgeta wanwan income source. If you identify the main income sources that is
sufficient. Kain olsem fiavpela em inap.
Write each income source on butcher paper so you remember them and then for
each different source of income agree on a simple picture or symbol to use to
represent the income source.
Don’t forget yumi wok long bihainim wanpela pasin long toktok.
When you ask everyone to identify income sources encourage a
woman to respond first then a man then a woman again and so on.
Now ask which household income source is the largest. This source of income
will have the largest root.
Start to make the roots of the in-out tree. Draw the It is a good idea to get a
root for the largest source of household income participant to draw or
and then draw the symbol for the income. make the tree for you!
Kain olsem sapos ol tok kopi then draw a coffee bean in the root (if you are
drawing the tree on butcher paper or using cards) or place a coffee bean on the
root (if you are making the tree on the ground)
Then do the same for the next most important source of household income, and
the next – igo igo na pinisim!
The income source that is the least important (smallest) will be the smallest root!
Next it is time to look at the household expenses in the village – these will be
the branches of the in-out tree.
Ask what the main expenses will be for a typical household in the village over
the next year. If you identify the main household expenses that is sufficient. Kain
olsem fiavpela em inap. Yumi wokim eksampel tasol!
Bikpela samting yu mas grupim ol ekspens – noken brukim igo daun long ol

Write each expense on butcher paper so you remember them and then for each
different type of expense agree on a simple picture or symbol to use to
represent the expense.
Don’t forget yumi wok long bihainim wanpela pasin long toktok. When
you ask everyone to identify income sources encourage a woman to
respond first then a man then a woman again and so on.
Now ask which household expense is the largest in the village. This expense
will have the largest branch. Wanwan household ino olsem ol narapela tasol
yumi wok long wokim tok piksa tasol.
Start to make branches of the in-out tree. Draw the branch for the largest
expense and then draw the symbol for the expense.
2
Kain olsem sapos ol tok mipela save troim wei bikpela hap kina long skulfi then
draw a pencil in the branch (if you are drawing the tree on butcher paper or
using cards) or place a pencil on the branch (if you are making the tree on the
ground).
Then do the same for the next largest expense and the next – igo igo na pinisim!
The expense that is the least important (smallest) will be the smallest root!
Point to the branches and say that this household will have the following
expenses over the next year – tok piksa tasol! Make
ake sure everyone is clear that
the largest branch is the largest expense.
Na tu ol mas klia sapos yu usim gut moni ino olsem moni lus na lus olgeta –
nogat sapos yu usim gut moni long mekim wok wanem wok yu
mekim em m i olsem prut bilong diwai bilong yutupela marit.
Make sure you (the trainer) keep the in-out tree that you made
with everyone because you will need it for the next session
As the trainer you can help them with some of your own observations. For
2 example you might have observed that w women didn’t know how much income
the household got from coffee, or you might have observed that men didn’t
know what income women were getting, or you might have observed that m men
did not mentioned expenses for household items like soap.
Ask everyone to think about the pasin long toktok that everyone
had to follow when they made the in-out tree.. A woman had to
respond then a man then a woman. And everyone had to concentrate on being
a good listener. Ask everyone the following questions about their
th experience:
3
Was it difficult to listen only?
How did it feel when you were listening (not speaking)?
Why do you think it is important to listen?
Did you learn something new?
Any surprises?
We also practiced listening skills – men listened to women then women listened
to men. Good listening is the secret to pasin wanbel namel long tupela marit.
Next give out butcher paper and markers to each married couple.
Explain that homework is an important part of this training. For homework askim
tupela marit to make an in-out tree that shows their household income and
expenses for the next year – wankain we yumi wokim pinis!
1 Encourage tupela marit to do a rough in-out tree first of all on the ground or
using spare paper before doing their final copy on the butcher paper
Remind participants to practise the listening skills when they are drawing their
tree at home. The husband should listen carefully to what the wife says – and the
wife should listen carefully to what the husband says.
Ask couples to bring their in-out tree to the next session so they can share what
they have done – and because they will need it for another activity!
Ask if there are any remaining questions about the session. Ask if there are any
doubts or confusion. And confirm the topic, time, and place of the next session.
Family business management training 21
Session 1 Exploring our household
The activity ends when everyone in the group has had a turn answering and asking a
question or when no one can think of a new question to ask!
Then askim tupela marit if they managed to create their own in-out tree? If
some couples have not managed to complete their homework gently remind
them that homework is an important part of learning.
1
Explain that later in the course each couple will need
their in-out tree so every couple will need to do it!
Next ask the group what their experience was using the listening skills at
home. Ask the following questions:
Refer to the training outline (on butcher paper) and explain that
today we want to explore the in-out tree further.
2
We will look at how households generate income and spend income – and the
decisions households make about how they spend income.
We will also look at our day to day life and explore how we organize our daily
work. At the end of this session we will do an exercise on trust.
Introduction (5 minutes)
Review the training so far. Remind everyone that men and women
have different tasks to do.
1
Explain that couples need to look at the work that men do and the work that
women do with fresh eyes.
If the work that men do and the work that women do is shared more equally the
household will be able to do more and produce more.
Draw (or place) symbols on the clock to show when the sun rises, full sun at
midday, when the sun sets, and a symbol of the moon to indicate night time.
What tasks would they have to do from the time they wake up until they go to
sleep again? Make sure you get them to also think about tasks such as sleep,
childcare, socializing, relaxing, playing cards, etc.
Next begin to divide up the activity clock as if it was pieces of pie (or cake).
If brukim paia is the first task of the day the volunteer couple do then make it
the first slice of pie. If redim kaikai is the second task of the day the volunteer
couple then include it as the second slice of pie.
Don’t draw the pieces of the pie because it will be hard to chop and change.
Instead use bilum rop or sticks to divide up the activity clock – wokim olsem em
2
bai isi long plai plai!
In each slice of pie you will need to place a symbol of the activity. Kain olsem
sapos ol tok wanpela task emi i brukim pai kisim wanpela hap diwai tasol na
putim insait.
If two tasks are being performed at the same time you can include a symbol for
both tasks in the same piece of pie.
Wokim igo igo na pinisim the activity clock for the volunteer couple.
Next get everyone to look again at the activity clock for the volunteer couple
It is very important that the size of the slice of pie for each task is relative (or
compared) to the size of the slice of pie for the other tasks.
This means if more time is spent getting breakfast ready than on brukim paia
then the slice of pie for cooking breakfast should be larger than for brukim paia.
2
Make sure the slices of the pie are relative – chop and change the activity clock
with the volunteer couple until the clock shows the daily tasks and which tasks
take the most time (compared to the other tasks).
What you are trying to come up with is a tok piksa of a normal day in the life of
the volunteer couple!
Ask everyone if the tasks done by men each day are different from
the tasks done by women? If the volunteer was a man then the
tasks that he does each day will be different to the tasks done by his wife.
Explain that now we will explore the different tasks done by men and women.
Split the group into two groups – men in one group and women in the other.
Ask each group to create an activity clock for a typical day in the life of a man (if
3
it is the men’s group) or a typical day in the life of a woman (if it is the women’s
group).
Each group can draw the outline of their clock on the ground or on butcher
paper – but it is important that they use sticks or bilum rop to divide up the
pieces of the pie – and objects to represent the different activities. This will make
it easier for each group to plai plai with their activity clock until they get it right!
While the groups are working on their activity clock walk around and assist them
- and answer any questions.
What differences do you notice in the way men and women spend their day?
3 Who has more tasks to carry out?
Who has more leisure time?
Who has more sleep?
Which of the activities are considered work?
What activities or tasks do women never do? Why?
What activities or tasks do men never do? Why?
If women had more time in the day what do you think they would use it for?
What did you learn from this activity?
Get everyone to think back to the in-out tree from Session 1. Put
the example that everyone did together long ples klia and go
through it again so everyone understands it!
1
Explain that we have explored what sources of income (moni i kam insait) and
what expenditures (moni igo autsait) the household has.
Start with the largest root and ask who produces (or generates) the income.
1
Luk olsem in almost all households in the Highlands coffee will be the largest
root – olsem na askim ol husat i kamapim kopi moni? Man o meri o husat?
Make sure to get the opinions of as many participants as possible – and make
sure that women are also encouraged to autim tingting.
Once the group agrees on who normally produces the income then – using the
example on the butcher paper - place a symbol of the person who is involved
underneath the root.
Explain that now we know who is involved in producing the income in a typical
household
But we would also like to explore who gets the income and who decides how it
is used -husat trutru i bosim dispela moni!
Start with the largest root again – luk olsem kopi – and ask:
1
If people say that it is the man husat save bosim income from coffee then put
the symbol for a man at the top of the root. If it is a woman then place a symbol
of a woman. If it is a child then place a symbol of a child. If it is a combination –
for example a man and a woman – then place a symbol of a man and a woman
at the top of the root.
Family business management training 30
Session 2 Exploring how we work together
If a man can use the income without asking his wife then it means the man
controls the income.
When you have finished go back over the in-out tree and make
sure everyone is clear what it shows: Wanwan rop bilong diwai
em olsem wei long kisim moni i kam insait. Husat wokim wok
long kamapim dispela moni yumi soim pinis – (point to the
symbol of the man o meri o pikinini underneath each root). Na
tu husat bosim dispela moni yumi soim pinis (point to the
symbol at the top of each root)
Ask everyone to think about the in-out tree that everyone made
together
together.. Ask the questions below and have a general discussion:
When you ask why men are the ones who control the income try and help
everyone dig deep - Yu tok olsem em i kastom bilong mipela tasol bilong
wanem? Yu tok olsem ol meri nogat tingting tasol bilong wanem yu tok olsem?
Try and get participants to question why they think the way they do. And try to
involve women in the discussion – the kumul needs two wings to fly!
Stia the discussion towards the conclusion that men and women generate
income together but only men are deciding on the use of the income
ncome – tru a!
What if women controlled the income from coffee instead of men? Ask everyone
the following questions:
Stia the responses to the conclusion that if women and men both made
decisions about how income from coffee is used then tupela marit wantaim
bai gat bel kirap long wok kopi
Make sure you (the trainer) keep the in-out tree that everyone
made together because
ecause you will need it later in the course.
course
Introduction (5 minutes)
Use everyone’s answers (paraphrase their answers) to explain that trust is when
two people can rely on each-other to do the right thing.
1
Find a good space to use that has obstacles but is not too
dangerous. You can always place some obstacles in the space –
such as a bilum or tin can or eggs or shoes.
2 Explain that to start you want the husband to lead their wife around the
room/open space. It is very important that the wife’s eyes are closed – sapos
laplap i stap usim laplap long pasim ai bilong meri. Do this for about 5 minutes.
Next ask the wife to lead their husband around the room/open space. It is very
important that the husband’s eyes are closed – sapos laplap i stap usim laplap
long pasim ai bilong man. Do this for about 5 minutes.
Now it is time to discuss the activity. Askim tupela marit pastaim to talk with
each other - how did it make them feel to be led around? Did it require trust?
2 Then get everyone together for a whole group discussion. Ask the following
questions:
s How was it to be led? How was it to lead? Explore with everyone the
Planti taim mama wokim bikpela wok long kamapim moni insait long famili tasol
em ino klia long hamas moni i kam insait na tu em i nogat rait long toktok long
hau famili bai usim dispela moni. Man tasol save toktok. Tru a!
2
This is like the trust exercise we have just been through. If the man is the one
who controls the money then the women has her eyes closed. She has to trust
that the man is using his power and leading wisely. Planti man save usim moni
gut. Tasol planti man ol no save usim gut. Tru a!
Ask men if they trust the Government to use their power wisely? Yumi save tok
Tasol samting yumi wokim insait long famili tu mas stap long ples klia. Sapos
tupela marit – man na meri – opim ai na mekim wok wantam long bosim moni
bilong famili bai famili kamap strong moa na bel isi. Tru a!
It would be better if the woman didn’t have her eyes closed so she knew how
much money was coming into the family and so she could help her husband
make decisions about how the income is used.
In the same way it would be better if both the husband and wife had their eyes
open when they were moving around the obstacles – maski long pasim ai!
Manmeri wantaim ai op bai nogat popai. Bai nogat tok beksait na komplain!
The experience around the world is the same. If tupela marit work together and
share the decisions about how their money is spent then the family does better:
Review Session 2.
We have looked at our daily household tasks and responsibilities with fresh eyes
– tingim activity clock!
We have looked at husat i kamapim moni insait long famili na husat i bosim
moni insait long famili.
1
Planti taim mama wokim bikpela wok long kamapim moni insait long famili tasol
em ino klia long hamas moni i kam insait na tu em i nogat rait long toktok long
hau famili bai usim dispela moni. Man tasol save toktok. Tru a!
Finally we experienced trust. Tupela marit must trust each other! But trust
doesn’t mean one person has to walk around with their eyes closed.
Trutru trust means that tupela marit both have their eyes open and work
together to make decisions about their family and how income is used.
Askim tupela marit long makim one task that is normally done by the opposite
sex – and do it until the next session!
2 For example the man might choose to wash the dishes and the woman might
choose to brukim paia – em bai dipen long hau tupela marit save skelim wok!
Get each married couple to discuss what tasks they will swap. Then ask each
married couple to stand up and say what tasks they will swap – brukim bus tasol!
At the start of the next session tupela marit will be asked to report back on their
experiences and feelings about taking on a task they don’t normally do.
Ask if there are any remaining questions about tthe session. Ask
sk if there are any
3 doubts or confusion. And cconfirm the topic, time, and place of the next session.
Remind couples to keep their in-out tree safe and sound because
later in the course you will ask them to bring it to another session.
The activity ends when everyone in the group has had a turn answerin
answering and asking a
question or when no one can think of a new question to ask!
Then askim tupela marit to talk about what it was like doing a task that is
normally done by the opposite sex (the homework!)
See if a couple is willing to share their observations and feelings about what it
1 was like for the woman to do a task that her husband normally did. And what it
was like for the man to do a task that his wife normally did.
Use some of the following questions to get discussion going (but make sure you
ask the final question because it is very important):
s What task did you take on?
s How did it go? What difficulties did you experience?
s How did it feel to do an activity that you normally consider the responsibility
of your partner?

s Did you feel les? What can you do about it?
s What can you do to overcome resistance from others (and from yourself)?
s What would happen if you continue to swap some roles?
At the end summarize the discussion and congratulate participants for their
courage to do the homework exercise – yupela brukim bus nau!
Refer to the training outline (on butcher paper) and explain that
today we want to look at ways of managing our income.
2 Make it clear to everyone that we will not be looking at the technical details but
at how we organize our household and how we make decisions. One of the best
ways to improve the income you get from coffee is to improve how the
household works together and makes decisions.
Technical details on coffee production will be dealt with in the technical training!
Explain to participants that in this training and especially today we want to focus
on what we can change about the future – not what has gone wrong in the past.
Noken bisi long bipo taim - tingim wanem senis yu laik wokim long nau taim.
Introduction (5 minutes)
Explain that now you would like the group to share ideas on how
to increase income from coffee production.
Remind everyone that we will not be looking at the technical details but at how
we organize our household and how we make decisions. The best way to
improve the income you get from coffee is to improve how the household works
together and makes decisions.
Technical details on coffee production will be dealt with in the technical training!
Explain that in this activity you would like women to be the first ones to answer
any questions. You want the men to just listen to what the women are saying –
2
and learn from it!
At the end the men and women will switch places and the men will be able to
autim tingting na ol meri bai putim ia tasol.
Remind everyone of one of the training rules – what people say in the training
stays in the training! Noken slukim tok igo long ol autsait lain sapos em i kain
tok we ino bilong ol autsait lain long harim!
Tell participants that you would like to share a story before starting with the
discussion:
Uganda em i wanpela ples long Africa we ol i save wok kopi wankain olsem hia
long PNG. Moni bilong kopi em i bikpela samting stret long olgeta man meri

Now read the story from Rose. Rose and her husband are coffee farmers in
Uganda. Make sure everyone understands that this is a real story!
Stori bilong Rose: Pastaim man bilong mi Kanunu no save skelim tingting na

Women might say things like coffee is important because it provides income
for the family – good but try and get women to dig deeper. Ask women
“how does coffee help you as a woman?” – noken tingim famili tingim yu yet.
“Mi no save long hau long usim ol tul na ol teknikal samting. Sapos mi save

“Sapos man bilong mi lainim mi long usim ol tul bilong wok kopi bai mi

The women form the large circle on the outside and the men sit inside the circle
and face each-other.
Now it is time for the men to answer any question na autim tingting - na ol meri
bai putim ia tasol.
2
Read the story from Kanunu. Kanunu is Rose’s husband. Make sure everyone
understands that this is a real story.
Kain olsem nau taim meri bilong mi i go long pulumapim wara mi save stap long

Now ask men to think about Kanunu’s story. Ask them the
following questions:
“Em i bun bilong famili”. “Kopi em i laip em tasol”. “Em i susu bilong mipela”.
“Mi save kisim bik nem long kopi em nau na mi laik lukautim tripela as kopi”
“Mi save lukautim kopi bilong pikinini long bihain taim – olsem kopi em

“Mipela mas hat wok moa na kamapim traipela as kopi diwai na tu mipela

“Meri save tokim mi olsem mi no save hat wok olsem em. Mi ting ting olsem

“Nau long dispela trenin yumi wok long tok olsem sapos manmeri wantaim
bungim tingting long hau long usim kopi moni meri bai gat bel kirap long
wok kopi – em tru ya”
Next get everyone together again. It is very important to get everyone to think
back over what they have done and to learn lessons. Ask everyone the following
questions:
s How did it feel to talk when you were inside the circle - and others around
you were listening?
2
s Do you think the fact that many women don’t have a say in how coffee
income is used affects coffee production in their household?
s How can you increase coffee production in your household?
s What have you learned from this activity? Hau bai dispela lainim halavim
sindaun bilong yu?
Thank participants and explain that in the next activity we will look at how to
2
better manage the money we get from coffee.
One way to work towards achieving your household vision is to manage your
money better so that you achieve more with your money – moni bilong yu save
karim kaikai gut o nogat?
Show everyone the in-out tree that everyone developed earlier in the course.
Ask everyone to look at the tree and answer the following questions:
1
1. What expenses are shown on the tree?
2. How important to the survival of the household is each expense? (go
Explain that in the next activity we will try and rank household expenses
according to how important they really are.
Some expenses are more important than other expenses – to manage you
money well you must spend your income on the most important expenses first!
Explain that those expenses that are necessary for survival or are
very important for our future are called NEEDS. Ol samting we yu
2 nidim long stap laip na long sapotim sindaun bilong famili bilong yu.
Those expenses which are used for things that are nice to have but not
absolutely necessary are called WANTS. Ol samting we em bai nais long kisim
tasol ino olsem yu nidim trutru long sapotim sindaun bilong famili bilong yu.
Don’t forget to prepare the expenses (needs and wants) cards to use for the
activity – use the 16 examples at the end of this handbook but use stick
figures when you prepare the cards. If you have lots of participants then you
could prepare two sets of expenses cards and then divide the participants into
two separate groups for this activity. At the end you can get both groups to
compare what they have done!
Find an open space. Get a sheet of paper and write ‘NEED’ (nid) on the paper.
Place it at one end of the open space.
Next get another sheet of paper and write ‘WANT’ (laik) on the paper. Place this
2 at the other end of the open space (about 5 metres away from the sheet of
paper that says NEED).
Next show everyone the symbols of expenses (needs and wants). Make sure all
the participants understand what the symbols mean.
Next ask everyone to work together to rank the expenses cards according to
how important they are for supporting a typical household in the village.
If participants agree that it is a need then they should place it closer to the sheet
of paper that says NEED. If they agree that it is more a WANT then it should go
closer to the sheet of paper that says WANT.
The expenses cards need to be placed in order. This means the expense that is
Family business management training 48
Session 3 Managing money and coffee
production
the greatest need should be the closest to the paper that says NEED and the
expenses that is the greatest want should be the closest to the paper that says
WANT. All the rest of the cards need to line up in between!
Tell everyone to take their time plai plai na wokim wantaim wanbel pasin.
Explain that there is no right answer – everyone has a different point of view
about whether an expense is a NEED or a WANT.
A brand new mobile phone might be nice to have but if your old clunky mobile
phone still works then a new mobile phone is really a WANT. However if your
mobile phone is broken then a new mobile phone could be a tru tru NEED.
The point of the activity to rank expenses is to get people to understand that
2
you have to make decisions about what expenses are most important!
At the end make sure you leave the expenses (needs and wants) cards
where they are – in the order that the participants ranked them. You will
come back to the expenses (needs and wants) cards later in this session
and give the participants a chance to rearrange them (if they want to!)
Ask everyone to look at the in-out tree again. Putim long ples
klia inap long ol manmeri ken lukim.
Point to the roots and say that this household will have the following income
sources over the next year.
3
Point to the branches and say that this household will have the following
expenses over the next year.
A principle of business is that YOU MUST spend your profit money first on the
needs of your business.
Pes lukluk bilong profit moni em mas long lukautim bisnis inap long bisnis bai
karim kaikai gen.
If you have a PMV business you have to make sure that you use your profits to
maintain your PMV so that it can keep running and keep providing profits. Sapos
yu abrus na usim profit moni long ol niupela samting ino long taim PMV bilong

Tru a!
Em nau household bisnis bilong yu em i wankain. Pes lukluk long wanem moni i

This means the expenses you should spend your money on first are those that
will make sure your household business inap long karim kaikai gen!
If your expenses are business expenses then you are putting gris igo bek gen

Family business management training 50
Session 3 Managing money and coffee
production
Your in-out tree shows your household business. Expenses to maintain and
grow your household business are called business expenses.
For example if your household money comes from coffee then business
expenses are tools and gramoxylin and coffee bags na kain olsem
3
Some expenses are for your household. They do not help you earn money from
your household business. They are called household expenses.
For example household expenses might be school fees or medicine or new pots
or beer.
Next tell everyone that we will play a game so that everyone is clear about which
expenses are business expenses.
Explain that in the game you will call out names of different types of expenses.
Long mekim isi ask everyone to imagine a household where all the income
comes from kopi tasol!
Below are the expenses you can use for the game. The usual answer (where the
income is from kopi tasol!) is in brackets:
o Herbicide (business)
o Pulping machine (business)
o Cooking pots (household)
o Mobile phone (can be both)
o Raised drying beds (business) – shade cloth for raised drying beds
o Social obligations (household)
When people make their choice na raun i go long wanem hap yu makim ask
someone from each side why they decided it was a business expense or why
they decided it was a household expense.
3
It is very important that everyone understands that there is not always a right
answer. For example in some households a mobile phone is mostly a business
expense but in other households it is mostly a household expense!
A good way to make decisions about which needs are most important is to think
about which needs will keep your business running – bai yu nid long putim gris
igo bek insait long graun inap long household bisnis bilong yu i stap strong na
helti. Sapos yu lukluk long ol narapela expense pastaim ino long taim household
4 bisnis bilong yu bai stat long drai.
Get everyone to have a look again at the activity they did earlier when they
ranking the expenses (needs and wants) cards.
Get everyone to have a look at how they ranked the expenses. Ask them if they
need to change their ranking so that business expenses are higher up the list of
what is most important.
If everyone agrees then get them to change how they have ranked the expenses.
Explain that when your household spends their income they should try and
spend it first on the most important needs. Sapos yu pinisim ol bikpela nid
pastaim orait yu inap lukluk long ol samting we yu laik long kisim – ol samting
we ino olsem yu nidim trutru long sapotim sindaun bilong famili bilong yu.
This means tupela marit should sit down together and rank their expenses –
4 wankain we nau yumi wokim – before they start to spend their income.
Review Session 3.

And it is important that you use your household income to pay for business
expenses – sapos yu no putim gris igo bek insait long graun ino long taim diwai

Explain that for homework you would like tupela marit to think about how they
can support each other to produce more and better coffee. Remind everyone
that one of the best ways for a household to produce more and better coffee is
to share the workload and decision making.
Remind tupela marit to use good listening skills when they work together!
Askim tupela marit to bring their pictures to the next session so that everyone
can have a look! And remind tuplea marit to keep working on the vision for their
household. Nogut
ogut tupela marit laik adim sampela niupela piksa igo long vision
pikta bilong ol?
Remind couples that for the next session they also need to bring
their in-out
out tree. They will need it for an activity!
Then askim tupela marit to talk about the homework! Couples were asked to
draw pictures of things they want to change in their household so they can
produce more and better coffee.
See if any couples are happy to share their pictures. Be sure to congratulate
tupela marit after each presentation!
1 Make sure couples keep their posters because they will need them during the
final session!
Refer to the training outline and explain that today we will look
at how to do a household budget.
2
Explain that a household budget will help you to make good decisions and to
gradually increase your income.
And we learned that when your household spends their income they should try
and spend it first on the most important needs first.
This means tupela marit will need to make decisions about what their most
important NEEDs are. If you don’t have enough income long inapim ol bikpela
nid bilong famili bilong yutupela bai yu nid long wokim disisin.
Couples always seem to argue over what to spend money on – ino PNG tasol em
olsem long olgeta hap!
1
Explore the reasons for conflict further by using some of the questions below:
Tell everyone that you want to tell a story about Manu and Grace.
Manu and Grace are a couple who have to make decisions about
how they use their income.
Ask everyone to listen very carefully and think about Manu and Grace’s situation.
Stori bilong Manu na Grace: Manu na Grace em i tupela marit husat save hat
wok tru long wok kopi. Driaman bilong tupela em long kisim inap kopi moni
long inapim skul fi bilong tupela pikanini bilong ol na tu long inapim ol narapela

Ask participants to split into two lines - with women standing on one side and
men standing on the opposite side. Get tupela marit to stand opposite each
other.
Ask women to pretend to be Grace. Grace wants to spend the left over money
on vegetable seeds, pots and stanbai moni.
Ask men to pretend to be Manu. Manu wants to spend the left over money on
buai, smuk, bia and a new mobile phone.
2
Now say ‘Go’! – Grace (women) and Manu (men) need to try and convince each
other that they are right – tok strong....bel hat....big maus na mekim....winim tok
bilong ol!
Give everyone one minute to argue and then ask everyone to swap roles - the
men become Grace (who wants to spend the left over money on vegetable
seeds, pots and stanbai moni) and the women become Manu (who wants to
spend the left over money on buai, smuk, bia and a new mobile phone).
Ask if one side was ever able to convince the other side? Luk olsem nogat!
2 Ask everyone why it was not possible to convince the other side? Stia the
discussion so everyone understands that it was because no one was listening.
Everyone was trying to talk over the top of the other side instead of listening to
what they were saying.
Family business management training 59
Session 4 Decision making and household
budgeting
When you have a discussion it is important to listen and consider what the other
person is saying and why they are saying it!
If people feel they have been listened to and you have considered their feelings
then they are more willing to compromise.
One of you should pretend to be Manu and the other should pretend to be
Grace. Work out what to do long wanbel wei.
3 Kain olsem:
“Grace yu meri bilong mi na mi laik harim tingting bilong yu long hau bai mi
usim dispela leftova moni”
“Tenkyu Manu mi wanbel long yu. Yu hat wok man na gutpela yumi usim
sampela bilong ol dispela leftova moni long baim bia na smuk tasol plis yumi sot
long pot olsem na yu ting wanem bai yumi usim sampela long baim pot tu?”
“Em nau mi wanbel. Na leftova i stap yet aiting bai yumi mas baim vegetable
seeds. Vegetable seeds em i wanpela bisnis expense tu na nogut yumi no kisim”
Next ask the participants to think about the demonstration you just did.
Point out that when you did the demonstration to show a good way for tupela
marit to make a decision about something you used “yu” or “yumi” words all
the time - and point out that you also asked questions to find out what the other
person thought:
Next point out that when tupela marit try and make decisions long kros pait way
they always say “mi” all the time - and they speak in statements:
Next say that each couple needs to try out good and bad
household decision making.
Ask tupela marit to sit down opposite each other. Ask them to think of
something that they might disagree about – what to spend income on, or who is
better Blues or Maroons, or whether or not to drink beer – ol yet!
Next ask tupela marit to try and make a decision but to do it the bad way – say
4
“mi” all the time and speak in statements.
Next ask tupela marit to sit down opposite each other again.
Ask tupela marit to try and make a decision again about whatever it was they
4 disagreed about – but this time ask them to try and do it the right way.
Ask them to use “yu” or “yumi” words all the time and to ask questions to find
out what the other person thinks.

about how to use household income na hau long kamapim wanbel

5 Skelim toktok by thinking about what the trutru needs of the family are
Skelim toktok by thinking about what will bring you closer to your
household goal
Listen to what your husband or wife says - and the rest of the people in your
family!
Use “yu” and “yumi” when you try and reach an agreement – and ask
questions instead of making statements
Use good communication skills – listen carefully and speak isi isi.
This simple tool is called a budget. Show the group the example below of a
budget. You will need to draw this on butcher paper na putim long ples klia.
This budget is a plan for how a household will get money and spend money
over the next year.
The table below describes in words what the butcher paper above
shows – and it gives more details. Bilong save tasol!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that tupela marit should sit down together to prepare
the household budget.
Sapos yutupela marit wokim disisen wantaim to prepare your household budget
meri bai hamamas moa long hat wok long kamapim income bilong famili bilong
1
wanem em kisim sans long toktok long kaikai bilong hatwok bilong en.
Sapos yutupela marit wokim disisen wantaim to prepare you household budget

Na tu ol meri save tingtim gut nid bilong famili – planti ol nid we man no save
tingim – olsem na bai gutpela sapos yutupela marit wokim disisen wantaim long
gutpela bilong famili.
Explain that the first thing you need to do when you make a household budget
is consider all the income that you plan to get over the next year. You need to
list this on the income side.
1
Then you need to add up all of the income and write it at the bottom.
In the example on the butcher paper luk olsem the household gets all of its
income from coffee tasol.
The next thing you need to do is list your expenses on the right side.
But before you do this you need to rank your expenses from the most important
1
(NEEDs) to the least important (WANTs). And when you do this you need to
make sure you givim bikpela lukluk long ol bisnis expenses.
Now it is time to list your expenses on the right side – in order from most
important (NEEDs) to least important (WANTs).
Next you need to add up the total of your expenses and write it at the bottom.
When you make these decisions it is very important that tupela marit
bungim tingting na wokim.
Ask them if there is enough income to cover the expenses? How much is the
household short? What could the household do? If there is not enough income
to cover expenses you can do two things:
1
Reduce your expenses. Ask everyone to have a look at the expenses on
Œ the butcher paper. What would you suggest the household could cut out
so that there was enough income to cover expenses?
Increase your income. How much would the household need to increase
• its income by in order to cover their expenses?
Askim ol what could tupela marit do if there is money left over after
they have paid for their NEEDs?
If there is money left over after paying for their NEEDs then tupela marit can do
two things:
But the best thing to do is spend some money on WANTs but putim
sampela leftova moni igo long benk o long sef ples. This is called
• ‘savings’. Explain that the advantage of savings is that sapos income
bilong yu long neks budget i sot long lukautim ol NEED orait yu inap
usim savings bilong yu long inapim ol NEEDs we yu sot long en.
Call half the small groups ‘Kina’ and the other half call ‘Toea’.
Make sure you prepare two sheets of butcher paper using the information
below – one for the Toea group and the other for the Kina group.
Toea group
Income for the year (Total: K1400) Expenditure for the year (Total:
Coffee – K1200 (6 bags of 50kg sold K1850)
for K4 per kg) School fees – K1450 (one child at top
Sale of vegetables – K200 up primary K250 and one child at
high school K1200)
Relaxation for the head of household
– K100
2 Social obligations – K100
Food – K200
Kina group
Income for the year (Total: K3000) Expenditure for the year (Total:
Coffee – K3000 K2800)
(12 bags of 50 kg sold for K5 per kg) School fees – K2400 (two children in
high school K2400)
Social obligations – K200
Household items (like soap) – K200
Next ask the Toea and Kina groups to use the budget tool to make a budget
using the information that is on the butcher paper. Make sure they understand
that the expenses are not written in order of most important (NEEDs) to least
important (WANTs) – each group will need decide how they rank the expenses.
At the end ask the Toea and Kina groups to present their budget. After each
2
presentation ask each group the following questions:
1. Was the budgeting tool easy to use? What difficulties did you have?
2. What discussions did you have as a group? Did all members of the
group contribute?
3. What could your household (Toea or Kina) do to make sure there is
enough income to cover the expenses?
The Kina household has more income than they need. They could spend
some money on WANTs but putim sampela leftova moni igo long benk o
long sef ples. This is called ‘savings’.
The Toea household needs to cut down on unnecessary expenses or find
more income to cover their expenses (or do both).
Explain that now you would like each couple to have a go at doing
a household budget. This is a practice tasol and couples will get a
chance to do it again at home for homework.
Give out butcher paper and markers. Askim tupela marit to use their in-out tree
3 to have a go at doing their own household budget – just like the one that
everyone practised doing together.
First they should list all the income earned in a year on the income side and
indicate from which source it comes. Next they need to total their income.
Next they need to decide together which expenses are most important (NEEDs)
and which expenses are least important (WANTs). Na tu ol noken lus tingting
long givim bikpela lukluk long bisnis expenses. Household business em i susu
bilong yu!
Next they need to list their expenses in a year on the expenses side in order
from most important (NEEDs) to least important (WANTs). Then they need to
total their expenses at the bottom.
Ask couples to start thinking about what they will do if their income is not
enough to pay for the NEEDs? How will they try and get more income or how
will they try and cut down on their expenses?
Remind couples that when they try and make decisions they should use “yu” or
“yumi” words and to ask questions to find out what the other person thinks.
Next see if some couples are happy to share their household budget. Remember
this is a practice only - they will get to do it again at home for homework.

1. When you did the budget yutupela marit should have made the decisions
together. Would it be the same if you did the budget at home in a real
situation? Do you think it is a good idea to make the decisions together?
2. Would doing a budget help you strongim sindaun bilong famili bilong yu?
Review Session 3.
Explain that today we looked at how to make decisions in a way that solves
conflict na kamapim wanbel:
Skelim toktok by thinking about what the trutru needs of the family are
1 Skelim toktok by thinking about what will help you achieve your vision
Listen to what your husband or wife says - and the rest of your family!
Use “yu” and “yumi” words when you try and reach an agreement – and ask
questions instead of making statements
Using good communication skills – listen carefully and speak isi isi
First they should list all the income earned in a year on the income side and
indicate from which source it comes. Next they need to total their income.
2
Then they need to list their expenses in a year on the expenses side and indicate
what the expenses are for. Next they need to total their expenses.
If the expenses are more than the income then they will need to plai plai with
their budget and make decisions about what their tru tru NEEDS are.
They will also need to make sure their household business inap long karim kaikai
gen. This means they need to try and use income to pay for business expenses
Ask everyone if there are any questions regarding the homework or about
anything from Session 44.
Ask couples to bring the poster with the pictures of what they want to change
so that they and produce more and better coffee. Say that they will need to use
it for the final session of the course.
Ask couples to bring the household budget that they are going to do for
homework – so everyone can see what they have come up with!
The activity ends when everyone in the group has had a turn answering and asking a
question or when no one ca
can think of a new question to ask!

s What did you find difficult when you developed your household budget?
s Was it difficult to agree on what your expenses should be?
s Are you going to use a household budget in future?
s Do you have any questions about developing a household budget?
Refer to the training outline (on butcher paper). Explain that today
you would like couples to develop a plan to help them achieve
their vision for their household.
Welcome participants.
Ask participants if they have ever made a plan. Ask participants what a plan is?
1 Ask them how a plan is useful?
Explain that a plan is like a journey. Yu laik go long sampela hap pastaim bai yu
makim wanem hap yu laik go long en – neks bai yu makim hau bai yu kamap
long dispela hap. Wanem samting bai yu nidim na wanem samting bai yu wokim.
Em olsem yu plen long hau long winim hap we yu laik kamap long en.
With your training partner perform a role play. One of you should pretend to be
the husband and the other should pretend to be the wife.
In the role play you are sitting down talking together about your vision to
increase coffee production (the goal or target of the plan). Talk together about
what you need to do to achieve your vision. For example:
Man – “Yumi lainim olsem sapos man solderim sampela wok we yu meri save
mekim yu bai inap hatwok moa long kopi gaden olsem na bai mi wokim
1 olsem”
Meri – “Na tu yumi lainim olsem sapos man lainim meri long hau long usim tul
bilong kopi na ol teknikal samting meri bai gat strongpela bel long wok
kopi. Em olsem man soim respek long meri bilong en. Olsem na bai yumi
wokim olsem”.
Man – “Na tu yumi lainim pinis sapos tupela marit wantaim wokim disisen long
hau long usim kopi moni meri tu bai gat strongpela bel long wok kopi.
Olsem na taim long disisen long kopi moni bai yumi wokbung wantaim”
Meri – “Mi wanbel stret long yu. Aiting sapos yumi wokim plen olsem bai yumi
Man – “Rait. Na tu bai yumi makim olgeta Satadei em i dei long wok long kopi
gaden”.
Meri – “Na tu bai yumi mas wokim badjet gut long mek sua yumi inapim ol nid
bilong yumi na nid bilong kopi business”
At the end make the point to the participants that what you have just done is
come up with a plan. Also make the point that you and your training partner
(husband and wife) came up with a plan wantaim wanbel pasin.
Next show everyone how to turn the vision that the married couple had in the
role play into a plan.
Using a sheet of butcher paper draw a picture of plan. Use the example below
because it lines up with the role play that you just performed.
Make sure everyone is clear what it shows. Kamapim moa kopi was the vision
that the couple had. All the pictures (and words) describe what they want to do
to acheive their vision.
Explain that now you would like couples to try and come up with a
household plan – a plan for how to turn their dreams into reality.
At the end of the last session you asked If a couple forgot to bring their
each couple to bring their household vision picture they will have to try
2
vision pictures to this session. Em nau and remember their vision picture
tokim ol long kisim.
Next ask each couple to sit with another couple who they are friends with.
Explain that for this activity each couple will need to develop their own
household plans – but the couples who sit together can give eachother advice.
Point to the butcher paper showing the plan you just did for the role play couple
who want to kamapim moa kopi.
Explain that what you want each couple to do is the same thing for each of their
household visions (each of their vision pictures).
2
To start ask each couple to select one of their vision pictures and then draw the
vision at the top of a sheet of butcher paper.
Their vision might be for the family to get on better or haus kapa for the home
or children going to school every day or producing more and better quality
coffee o kain kain samting – em bai dipen long wanwan tupela marit!
Next each couple will need to discuss what they need to do to achieve it.
When they discuss how they will achieve their vision encourage them to use
good decision making.
And encourage couples to think of the social side – wokbung bilong tupela marit
2
em i bikpela samting long kamapim planti driaman olsem na tokim tupela marit
long taim yu tingting long hau yu bai kamapim driaman bilong yutupela tingting
long hau yu bai kamapim wanbel na wokbung pasin insait long famili.
What do you need to change about who does what work in the household?
Next each couple needs to draw pictures of all the things they want to do to
achieve the vision. Use arrows to show that they will help to achieve the vision –
just like the plan for the role play couple who want to kamapim moa kopi.
2
If the couple can read and write then encourage them to use both words and
pictures to explain what they are going to do to achieve their vision.
When it is finished each couple can then select another vision and repeat the
process until all the pictures that were on their vision picture have been turned
into a plan. Some couples might have five or six butcher paper plans!
Encourage people to include kamapim moa kopi as a vision (if they have not
2
already included it!).
Explain that earlier in the course when couples were asked to draw pictures of
ways to increase coffee production and quality what they were really doing was
developing a plan.
At the end ask couples to put their plans on the wall or long ples
klia. Invite couples to explain their plans one at a time.
Also get the advisors to sign the couples plan. After the
advisors sign the plan ask them how they think they will
be able to help the couple to put their plan into practice

Make sure everyone understands that the story of Theresa and Landuwari is a
common story – there are many families that have started to change.
See if any participants have any comments to make about the story.
Remind participants about the beginning of the first session when we talked
about change. Change starts with small steps – ol liklik hain wara pastaim tasol

Evaluation
Materials Training outline poster. Butcher paper. 5 containers. Objects to give
to men (like stones) and objects to give to women (like leaves).
Objective · Get feedback on the training, provide monitoring data for the
project
Key learning
· What evaluation means and why it is necessary
points
4. Give all the male participants small stones (o samtin olsem). Give all the
female participants leaves (o samtin olsem).
5. Next ask the participants the following evaluation question (evaluation
question one) and make it clear that everyone mas tok stret – sapos yupela
no tok stret dispela evaluation bai no inap halavim yumi.
It is a very good idea to put the poster with the faces and the 5 containers
in a place that is hidden from view. This is so that when participants make
their selection the other participants won’t be able to see which container
they chose – nogut wanpela bihainim tingting long narapela o nogut meri
bihainim tingting bilong man bilong em! Na tu mek sua yu trena yu no inap
lukim – nogut ol i pret o ol i laik hamamasim yu tasol!
4 Give all the male participants’ small stones (o samting olsem) and all the
female participants’ leaves (o samting olsem) – wankain long bipo.
5 Next ask the participants the following evaluation question (evaluation
question two) and make it clear that everyone mas tok stret – sapos yupela
no tok stret dispela evaluation bai no inap halavim yumi.
After the training has finished arrange to sit down with some of the local
participants – two or three couples – and ask them the questions below.
Their answers will give you more detailed evaluation information.
Ask them the following questions and record their answers in your journal:
1. What comments or criticisms do you have about the way the trainer
trainers
did the training?
2. What was the topic or part you found most useful?
3. What topic or part are you are most confused about?
4. What changes should we make to improve the training?
5. Any other comments?

Materials Attendance certificates, camera

If possible also provide participants with a certificate of attendance – and take a
photo at the end of everyone holding their certificates.
Encourage everyone to work towards their goal by making changes in their lives.
This exercise requires your best facilitation and training skills! It is best conducted by
a pair of two trainers – one male and one female. The female trainer should start the
session by introducing the activity and getting consent from all participants that they
will keep to the rules. She will then sit with the female participants in the circle and
ask the questions to women. When roles are switched the male trainer should sit
with the men in the inner circle and ask the questions to men.
The questions listed in the manual should guide the trainer. They are generally
aimed at giving women a chance to express their views and feelings regarding coffee
production, encouraging understanding of the motivations and needs (for support)
of the other sex, initiating good communication among couples.
These questions build on the hypothesis that women benefit little from coffee
production although they are quite heavily involved in producing coffee. Because
men are taking the decisions on income from coffee women are not motivated to
work in the coffee gardens. This results in a low production and sometimes poor
quality. The example in Uganda shows that joint decision making not only motivates
women and increases production but also improves the family wellbeing.
The trainers are welcomed to use more questions to get people to think about
decision making, sharing income and using the income properly. However, it is
important to involve all the participants who are seated in the inner circle and not
stick with the more vocal participants. As a trainer you can spread the questions,
even follow up questions, to a wider audience.
Please ensure that there is no talking in the outer (listeners) circle. Observe
participants closely. If you do feel that they are not engaged in the discussion or are
getting bored move to other questions or rephrase them, involve more participants
or change the tone of your voice. If you do not get an answer on your question and a
rephrased question, you can move on without getting an answer. You can then invite
participants to think about the question even if they have not answered it.
PMV driver
Select the number of ‘drivers’ according to the number of the groups you want to
create. And think about how many passengers you want each driver to pick up
(according to the calculated group size: e.g. if you have 16 participants and want 4
groups you ask each driver to pick up 3 passengers).
Ask for volunteers who want to drive a PMV (tasol nogut ol PMV draiva em i man
tasol). Ask the drivers to go around the room making vehicle noises and touting for
business – Lae...Lae...Lae! The passengers choose one driver and form up behind their
driver to make it look like they are in the vehicle. Make sure each PMV has the right
number of passengers. Now get all the ‘vehicles’ to drive around sounding their
horns and shouting at other PMVs. After a few minutes begin the group work.
Robots
Divide the participants into groups of three. One person in each group is the robot
controller and the other two are the robots. Each controller must manage the
movements of their two robots. The controller touches a robot on the right shoulder
to move them to the right, and touches them on the left shoulder to move them to
the left. The facilitator begins the game by telling the robots to walk in a specific
direction. The controller must try to stop the robots from crashing into obstacles
such as chairs and tables. Ask participants to swap roles so that everyone has a
chance to be the controller and a robot.
Yes/No game
Participants split into two lines, so that each person faces a partner. Line one has to
say “Yes” in as many different ways as possible, and line two has to try to change
their partner’s minds by saying “No” as convincingly as possible. Give both lines a
chance to say both “Yes” and “No”. Then discuss how people felt. How did it feel to
say “Yes” or “No”? Was it easier to say one than another? Addition: you can keep the
two lines in place and divide the line by as many groups you need. In this way you
will have groups with equal numbers of men and women.
Energiser 1: A song
Materials: None
1. A good energiser is singing. Ask different people to lead the group in a song – if
possible songs which are energetic and have actions.
4. If they are successful then everyone should be back in the original large circle or
in a few smaller circles that are connected.
Energiser 7: Oink…2…3
Materials: None
1. Get everyone in pairs.
2. Ask the pairs to stand opposite each other.
3. Ask the pair to say 1…2….3…1…2…3...1. This means the first person says ‘1’, their
partner then says ‘2’, the first person says ‘3’, their partner says ‘1’ again and so on.
Get everyone to practice doing this!
4. Next ask each pair to replace the number ‘1’ with an animal sound. Each pair can
come up with their own sound. Then ask everyone to begin again.
5. Next ask each pair to replace the number ‘2’ with a movement. Each pair can come
up with their own movement. Then ask everyone to begin again.
6. If any pair does it really well then get them to demonstrate to the class.
