NID Training workshops

    We design, customize and deliver a broad spectrum of training packages customized to adult learners both in the field and for distance learning. Our methodology is highly participatory and combines an understanding of policy contexts with hands-on, technical or on-site training.  Our clientele have included a wide spectrum of interest groups from women farmers in the fields, to micro entrepreneur women's groups in Cameroon, Tanzania, the Caribbean region and the Baltic States to senior staff in multilateral, donor and government agencies.
