An evaluation of the application of taught principles, skills, knowledge and practices will have to be conducted in future to determine the overall success of the programme. In a survey we conducted in Helenvale to a sample of 34 respondents with a response rate of 100% which was designed to include both quantitative and qualitative information, we made the following findings: the initial part of the trainingprogramme; training delivery, was successful. There is more female than male involvement in community development projects in Helenvale. The training delivery was successful and the method adopted for training was appropriate. The training was relevant and the material interested community activists and leaders. The participants expressed confidence in their ability to manage community projects better than before the training.
