  Who are these Field Courses for?

Field Courses Delivered in Your Country

Field Courses for In-Country NGOs

  • In-country staff wishing to sharpen their development skills or train new staff
  • Consultants and private companies involved in sustainable development
  • Government agency staff

8 day Hands-on Field Courses Delivered in Your Country.
Experience firsthand the real-life needs of community members and the varied challenges faced by implementing NGOs.

In-Country NGO staff combine theory with practice by working in the field designing and implementing development projects from the ground up. Participants develop a range of skills, including how to facilitate participatory needs assessments, implement impact evaluations, and how to design and execute outcome-driven projects.

Can't make it to one of our workshops in Guatemala? We bring the workshops described in Field Courses in Guatemala to your country and deliver them to your NGO staff. We will show you how to prepare the workshop in one of your partnering villages, and we will then lead the workshop for your colleagues and your village beneficiaries.

In the process, we will instruct members of your staff in leading the workshops—so that your team can lead future workshops themselves—after we have gone. Contact us at the Center for more information on this opportunity.
