Hi all !
We are using the MSC technique for assessing the impact of BCC done by village volunteers in 100 villages of Lalitpur(Uttar Pradesh, India). The BCC is a part of the integrated village development project known as the Bal Bandhu Pariyojna which is being supported by the Government of Uttar Pradesh and Unicef.
I wish the members to know that we have used a Hindi Translation of Rick's Guide for our assignment which was provided to us by Unicef. Further, I have also designed a sigle-page hand-out on the MSC technique in Hindi. I have tried to use simple words and put in a nutshell the MSC technique. The hand out can act as a useful tool for beginners ad stakeholders.
We have reached the stage of meta and content analysis in our assignment. I wish to know if any content analysis reports are available with this group, because that would provide me with valuable insights as to how to go about analysing the stories. Thank you and Best wishes
Sanjay Tripathi

Indonesian translation
2023 01 18 Update: A full text Indonesian translation has been found, and is available here. The translator is Candra Kasuma. We would like to get into contact with them, but we have no contact details for them. Can anyone help?
--------------------------------------------------------
In May 2007 Julia Suryantan contacted me to say...(edited text follows)
"I am working for Church World Service (CWS) Indonesia as Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator...CWS have introduced and used MSC for several years to both internal and external organization (partners/local NGO). However, in my opinion, it still needs a lot of improvement and correction on how we implement MSC. One of the reasons is language barrier on understanding the MSC guide. Do you have Indonesian version of the MSC guide? If you do not have it, is it possible for CWS Indonesia to translate it to Indonesia language."

Hi all,
We have developed a number of materials in Indonesian. Maybe useful to put there too.
It is not a translation of the guide but a short version – might still need some work to make it perfect.
Paul

Update: (22/12/2007) Paul has now provided links to two new documents. The first is a booklet on MSC in Bahasa Indonesian (44 pages, in pdf format). This is not a translation of the MSC Guide, but it does make extensive use of the Guide and other materials on MSC.
