Theatre for Development Trainer – Consultancy

About CARE International

CARE was founded in 1945 and currently has a presence in 111 countries. Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE) works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty, and achieve social justice. CARE International has been working in Zimbabwe since 1992. The organization’s focus in the country is poverty alleviation in the areas of Food, Water & nutrition; Climate change and adaptation; Gender, including education, Humanitarian response; Economic Empowerment; and Health.

USAID Takunda Program

Takunda is a five-year (October 2020 to September 2025), USAID-funded Resilience Food Security Activity in Zimbabwe. The program complements government efforts in building resilience to repeated shocks amongst vulnerable communities and is being implemented by a consortium of NGOs led by CARE International together with its partners: Bulawayo Projects Centre (BPC), Environment Africa (EA), Family Health International (FHI 360), International Youth Foundation (IYF), and Nutrition Action Zimbabwe (NAZ). The Program is supported by technical partners FANRPAN and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). The primary goal of Takunda is to achieve Sustainable, Equitable, and Resilient Food, Nutrition, and income security in the Buhera, Mutare, Chivi, and Zaka districts.

This program aims to achieve its goal through 3 purpose areas, namely,

  1. Increased gender equitable income among extremely poor and chronically vulnerable households, women, and youth.
  2. Improved nutritional status among children under 5 years, adolescent girls, and women of reproductive age.
  3. Reduced impact of shocks and stresses for extremely poor and chronically vulnerable households, women, and youth.

Takunda Social and Behavior Change (SBC) strategy.

Takunda works with program participants to promote behaviors and practices that support program outcomes and overall goal. The SBC strategy guides the implementation of interventions that address the obstacles and social norms that influence behavior adoption. To enhance behavior change communication across all purposes, Takunda will use various mass media communication channels. These will serve to sensitize communities on promoted behaviors and practices, raise awareness on where to access necessary knowledge and skills, and create demand for the services provided by Local Service Providers (LSPs) in program communities.

Community theatre is one channel the program intends to use to promote the uptake of behaviors. Community theatre groups identified from program districts will conduct monthly theatre performances at selected sites in each district. These groups will be capacitated on Theatre for Development (TfD). This dynamic process stimulates thinking and debate and has been used to enable children and adults to identify and act upon alternative solutions for problems faced by communities. TfD has been used in research, evaluation, monitoring, and advocacy. Through participatory theatre, TfD encourages dialogue and engagement of community members in identifying root causes of problems, promoting positive changes, and in negotiating with those in authority. TfD is, therefore, a powerful tool for education, awareness, and behavior change.

  • El Balanceo de Componentes: Elemento Clave para un Desempeño Óptimo

    ¿Alguna vez has notado vibraciones extrañas en una máquina? ¿O tal vez ruidos que no deberían estar ahí? Muchas veces, el problema está en algo tan básico como una irregularidad en un componente giratorio . Y créeme, ignorarlo puede costarte bastante dinero .

    El equilibrado de piezas es un paso esencial en la construcción y conservación de maquinaria agrícola, ejes, volantes y elementos de motores eléctricos. Su objetivo es claro: prevenir movimientos indeseados capaces de generar averías importantes con el tiempo .

    ¿Por qué es tan importante equilibrar las piezas?
    Imagina que tu coche tiene una rueda desequilibrada . Al acelerar, empiezan las vibraciones, el volante tiembla, e incluso puedes sentir incomodidad al conducir . En maquinaria industrial ocurre algo similar, pero con consecuencias mucho más graves :

    Aumento del desgaste en bearings y ejes giratorios
    Sobrecalentamiento de componentes
    Riesgo de fallos mecánicos repentinos
    Paradas no planificadas y costosas reparaciones
    En resumen: si no se corrige a tiempo, un pequeño desequilibrio puede convertirse en un gran dolor de cabeza .

    Métodos de equilibrado: cuál elegir
    No todos los casos son iguales. Dependiendo del tipo de pieza y su uso, se aplican distintas técnicas:

    Equilibrado dinámico
    Ideal para piezas que giran a alta velocidad, como rotores o ejes . Se realiza en máquinas especializadas que detectan el desequilibrio en varios niveles simultáneos. Es el método más fiable para lograr un desempeño estable.
    Equilibrado estático
    Se usa principalmente en piezas como ruedas, discos o volantes . Aquí solo se corrige el peso excesivo en una única dirección. Es rápido, sencillo y eficaz para ciertos tipos de maquinaria .
    Corrección del desequilibrio: cómo se hace
    Taladrado selectivo: se perfora la región con exceso de masa
    Colocación de contrapesos: por ejemplo, en llantas o aros de volantes
    Ajuste de masas: típico en bielas y elementos estratégicos
    Equipos profesionales para detectar y corregir vibraciones
    Para hacer un diagnóstico certero, necesitas herramientas precisas. Hoy en día hay opciones disponibles y altamente productivas, por ejemplo :
