Training and Capacity Development

I enjoy developing and conducting training and capacity development processes and programmes, for example on:

Multi-stakeholder processes: developing and conducting courses on multi-stakeholder dialogue, societal change, participation, partnership building - e.g. with the Plant Science Center at ETH / Technical University Zuerich, Switzerland (2011); the World Peace Academy at the University of Basel, Switzerland (2011); the Generative Change Community (2006-2010); the Collective Leadership Institute; Adelphi Research (2005); the International Standard Organisation (2004).
I have also recently published a brief article What It Takes - Competencies for designing and facilitating MSPs for Capacity.org (Dec 2010).

Leadership, communication, knowledge management: developing and conducting training programmes for decision-makers in intergovernmental organisations, civil society networks, and businesses (e.g. for the UN with the Rotterdam School of Management).

Women's / gender issues: conducting workshops and ongoing training on gender aspects of sustainable development issues (water, land, tourism, consumption, climate, etc) and supporting women's strategy development towards decision-making (e.g. around UN processes; for decision-makers and researchers);

International policy making processes: supporting effective civil society involvement in policy making though information and strategy workshops, information materials, mentoring and coaching (e.g. around UN processes like the Johannesburg Summit on Sustainable Development, the UNFCCC process, and others)
