development worker Explanation: Hi Annaval this is tricky For starters: http://www.ongitaliane.it/ong/master/visualizza.asp?ID=1&spo... IL COOPERANTE: è un professionista in possesso delle conoscenze tecniche, dell'esperienza professionale e delle qualità personali necessarie per l'espletamento di compiti di rilevante responsabilità tecnica, gestionale e organizzativa con esperienza nei Paesi in Via di Sviluppo (PVS). I contratti rivolti ai cooperanti possono essere per "missioni brevi" (meno di quattro mesi) o "lunghe" (da quattro a ventiquattro mesi). Le retribuzioni variano a seconda dell'esperienza e delle competenze, in generale sono molto più elevate di quelle dei volontari. Diversa è la posizione degli ESPERTI, che sono nominati con decreto della Direzione generale per la cooperazione allo sviluppo del MAE. Now check this out: http://www.moyak.com/researcher/resume/papers/litreview.htm It will perhaps be useful in expanding the scheme to think of the differences in meaning and understanding between the expressions 'intern', 'volunteer' and 'technical assistance'. 'Intern' emphasizes learning, as in 'junior doctor' or 'not fully qualified'* The word 'volunteer', as noted elsewhere, still causes a degree of angst within organizations who want to promote the professionalism of their personnel, and who understand that people living and working overseas on local terms and conditions usually return feeling that they have gained more than they have given. 'Cooperant' is a brave Canadian attempt to kill all linguistic and conceptual birds with one stone, although the word does not feature in many French or English dictionaries. In Spanish, 'cooperante' means someone working in development at lower levels and salaries. More anodyne, 'technical assistance' is devoid of ideas like 'exchange' and 'cross-cultural learning'. My feeling is *development worker* does the job, but I'd like to see other opinions -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2007-02-08 23:31:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you're asking whether it's used when speaking of NGOs, yes it definitely is http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="development worker" NG... |
