Outcome Mapping
13 December 2011
Development processes are multi-dimensional by nature. How to manage it? Rather challenging! To tackle this, OM offers a non-linear, vision-driven approach with a focus on changes of behaviours, relationships, actions of the people and organisations in the development program.
This course will help you to address the following issues:
• How do we move beyond attribution and focus on supporting social change?
• How can we capture the richness of what is occurring in our development interventions without relying only on pre-defined anecdotal evidence?
• How do we integrate learning from monitoring and evaluation into the project and programme right from the planning stage?
You will be able to organise joint monitoring and evaluation processes with development partners to enhance both programme and organisational learning. You will draw parallels with other planning, monitoring and evaluation methods and organise ideas to fit to your context most effectively.
Knowledge Management for Development
13 December 2011
Knowledge Management is about having the right information at the right place and at the right time. It captures, filters and assimilates organisational knowledge and streamlines it for maximum utilisation of organisational goals. It is critical for effective and efficient operations in the development field.
At the end of the course:
• You will understand what knowledge and knowledge management is and what it can mean for you
• You will know the uniqueness and relevance of knowledge management for development
• You will be able to start a participatory process to develop a knowledge management strategy
• You will gain insight in the importance and adoption of effective technology to support knowledge processes
• Finally, you will gain ideas how to stimulate staff in your organisation to become active actors in knowledge processes
Group Facilitation
12 December 2011
Facilitation is the art of managing and aligning the diversity of individuals within groups in order to reach common goals. Become a successful facilitator, knowing how to create mutual understanding among participants. This will help you to achieve consensus to find workable solutions.
This course will help you to become a skilful workshop or team facilitator. It will help you to broaden and improve your personal interaction skills and to understand the underlying dynamics of participative group processes. The course will offer you methods and tools that support participative decision-making. You will learn to recognise and plan the different phases in group decision-making. During the course you will be working with techniques and methodologies to analyse the needs of a group. This will enable you to design powerful workshops and meetings in response to these needs.
