Multicultural program design

Program design refers to identifying and defining the elements that go into the delivery of a service. There is a need for programs that are designed to provide interventions that align with the population being served. Multicultural program design needs to address cultural variables, such as ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation. For this discussion, assume that you are creating a multicultural program proposal that is addressing the needs of the diverse groups in a community, in Duval/Clay County Florida Communities.

Please respond to the following:
1)    What are some creative ways to ensure that the program is sensitive to cultural diversity, as it relates specifically to developing the following areas of the logic model?
a)    Inputs: resources (staff, funding, etc.) and raw materials (clients or consumers)
b)    Process: activities that use inputs to achieve objectives with raw materials

2)    Explain about how decisions are made and who should be involved in the planning process.
