Training
Training is one of the most effective capacity building tools that development organisations have. It provides opportunities to acquire discrete skills in a short period of time, gain knowledge, and change attitudes and behaviour. In a rapidly changing working environment, it is essential that your staff keep up to date with the latest approaches and continually refresh their skills. ELD runs short courses to support the human resources development of organisations. ELD training addresses all stages of the project cycle as well as contributing to organisational development.

All ELD training programmes - both open courses and in-house assignments - are founded on research into the real challenges faced by development staff and organisations. Our training materials are unique and continuously updated as our experience grows. ELD workshops are:

  • Participatory
  • Learner-centred
  • Interactive / lively
  • Task-based / practical; and:
  • Simplify complex topics through clear explanations
  • Provide frequent opportunities for practice and personalisation
  • Use a wide variety of appropriate media

Depending on their objectives and group size, scheduled courses generally run from three to five days. All training is conducted by highly experienced international resource persons.




In-house Training

In-house Training provides opportunities to:
  • Approach training as a staff and organisational development exercise
  • Ensure all staff acquire even skills and are on the same wavelength
  • Develop the organisation's work, for example, by developing the same project concept
  • Focus on the unique challenges facing a particular organisation
In-house Training can also have further advantages of greater time flexibility, follow-up and cost.

ELD frequently provides training directly to organisations and their partners. While this often means adapting existing training modules to suit a particular organisation or field, this can also require completely designing courses from scratch based on the client's specifications. Most popular in-house courses include Reporting Skills / Professional Writing and Project Planning / Developing Project Proposals.

All In-house Training programmes are developed through discussion and negotiation with clients, and conducted by highly experienced resource persons with extensive development knowledge and understanding of the local context.
