My working situation:
I am presently Delegate of
Intercooperation
in Bangladesh, and thus a bit less directly involved in training
programmes.
However, my tasks keep me in touch with training aspects at planning
and
strategic levels. Skill development remains an important component of
our
projects in Bangladesh, could be for management, production, marketing,
and
local planning aspect. This is thus the first interest for me to
participate
in the SDRA debate, in relation to development of strategies and
approaches
in our programme. Since I spent many years in the field of rural
training,
I also have a personnel attraction for training approaches, being
convinced
that, in the field of rural development, they will always constitute a
key factor.
My challenge for the workshop:
The main challenge in our projects in Bangladesh is related to the
development
of a quality, effective, appropriate, affordable, sustainable and
proximity
system of advisory service provision (=skills development facilities),
which
fulfils the numerous demands and needs from the local communities. This
system
encompasses different actors -NGOS, Government Institutions, private
sector
and resource farmers- which role and relationship are subject to
redefinition.
For instance, the NGOs in Bangladesh are strongly involved in technical
service delivery, which is not sustainable in the long run, and
inhibits initiatives
from the private sector.
Another challenge linked to the first, is the willingness of clients to
contribute
to the cost of training services, in an environment where the provision
of
services free of cost is the general rule.
My contribution:
I could contribute in the debate with
what
we developed in Madagascar regarding the management (or steering) of
training
processes (or programmes) by farmers (Gestion Paysanne des Processus de
Formation).
This approach in very close to the “Learning Network Approach”
developed
by GTZ. We took it into consideration in our programme in Bangladesh.
Particular
points of interest of this approach are the “accompaniment” of the
training
process –a kind of coaching method-, and the consideration of training
as
a part - of micro-projects development.
My
contribution:
1. Organising Demand and Supply of Training
2. Capacity and Organisation Development related to SDRA
3. Working with migrants
