IDC activities include: (a) data collection; (b) technical support; (c) research; (d) identification of professional standards criteria incorporating best practices in social insurance administration and fund investment; (e) a needs assessment; and (f) a public information campaign. Public information activities include: (a) engagement of local leaders and union delegates in advancing the educational program; (b) development of educational materials for the workforce and their families; (c) utilizing the website of the Argentinian construction union (UOCRA) to disseminate ideas, standards and guidelines; (d) a newsletter and special reports to promote policies and investment practices that generate long-term value for working families; and (e) conferences and publications. The training subprogram supports worker participation in the management of labor pension funds and other systems of social insurance through: (a) identification of a core faculty from the target population of union officers and staff, as well as fund administrators and advisers, to become lead trainers; (b) identification and recruitment of 80 trainers to deliver training courses to workers; (c) assessment of best learning modalities for each of the target populations; (d) identification and recruitment of subject matter experts to develop training and education programs; (e) curriculum design; (f) pilot testing of the train-the-trainer program; (g) evaluation and assessment, and revisions to the curriculum; (h) implementation of the training programs on a national scale in Argentina and Chile; and (i) recruitment, development, design and execution of the program with adaptation of the curricula in three additional countries in the region.
