In order to achieve the constant support which the change-agents need, there is a need for more training for supervisors and project officers-training appropriate to their proper role of resource persons working alongside their development workers and instructors.

Those concerned with programmes of ‘staff development’ have identified two main models: a ‘developmental’ (bottom-up and problem-solving) model and a ‘deficit’ (top-down, input-based) model. The former is more concerned with the needs of the person, the latter with the needs of the organization he or she serves. Much the same is true of the train­ing of supervisors. They may be molded to fit the needs of the programme and the agency, or they may be made innovative and free to exercise judgment in the fulfillment of their role of helper of change-agents.
