The training is designed for the field project staff, middle level office staff NGOs who required to work in team or team situation. Duration The complete programme consists of 12 learning sessions. Session times vary from 1:00 to 2:00 hours. The total programme will take 21 hours or approximately 3 full working days. Training Approach and Methods The programme is based on the assumption that: “Training is expensive” “Money for training is scarce” Therefore it looks upon training as an investment, and unless the training yields results, the return on the money invested in it will be nil. On their return home from the training programme, the participants should therefore be able to prove improvement in management. In order to prepare and equip the participants to achieve this, the programme will use highly active learning approach through the use of participatory learning techniques. Participants (working mostly in groups) will learn through simulated problem solving exercises and guidance from the facilitators, who will act more as a “facilitator” of learning than a lecturer. Structure The programme is divided into 12 sessions as shown below: 1. Introduction "Participant’s presentation of Team Building first phase.
