Train the trainer: administering and facilitating effective training events

These materials are designed to accompany a workshop supporting the training or trainers or to help a trainer prepare for a training event. The materials are only partially complete and are still being worked on, they should be completed over the coming months. The general outline of the workshop materials is provided below, along with an indication of which materials are currently available.

These materials have been developed by a collaborative effort between INASP and IICD within the framework of the ItrainOnline initiative. The final materials will be hosted on the ItrainOnline trainers pages - if you are interested in this subject area then these pages are an excellent set of resources and a recommended starting place.
