Training Background

During the implementation of development projects various case stories and success stories generate that can not only reveal the processes of execution but also give rise to many learnings. But these stories remain undocumented due to the lack of necessary skills at the part of organization.

Usually the NGOs or Government agencies keep on depending on external consultants for documenting the case stories/studies, but strengthening own capacities is sustainable and cost-effective way. Residential training program is to impart skills among project executives of how to write case and success stories and to compose case studies. This residential training will focus more on practice than the theory, and would be participatory.

Who can apply for training?

The training is fit for NGO’s project implementing staff, project managers, government project executives and all others who are involved in project management.
