For over 60 years, IIRR’s Global Learning Program has delivered customized training courses that provide practical, pioneering insights—co-designed with partner organizations for real-world application. Conducted across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, these trainings empower participants with people-centered approaches to drive effective and lasting social transformation.
Our Approach
We design training courses to meet your organization's specific needs and use a variety of interactive approaches including seminars, study programs, roving workshops, field visits, action planning, success story sharing, and writeshops to maximize learning.
Seminars
An educational event in which participants gather to learn more about a topic or subject through presentations, discussions, and interactive activities to increase or heighten knowledge.
Roving Workshops
A learning event that allows participants to purposely move or shift from one project site to another, witnessing the results of interventions and facilitating learning exchanges with direct project actors or implementers, e.g., farmers, innovators, technical staff, etc.
Field Visits
Learning takes place through direct observation of project activities, ongoing tasks, and processes in the field to achieve objectives, witness results based on set targets, etc., reinforcing experiential and contextual learning.
Action Planning
A scheme that cuts across all modules of a particular learning event that encourages every participant to reflect on their actual work in the organization, identify lessons learned from the course, and develop an action plan with the steps to take over a given period. IIRR follows up on the plan's progress after six months of the course.
Sharing of Success Stories
A session or series of sessions that allows participants to describe experiences, focusing on lessons learned and good practices that led to positive outcomes and ways to reinforce a positive image, acknowledge accomplishments, and gain feedback and possible support from others to keep growing.
Writeshops
A writing workshop involves a focused process of drafting, reviewing, and revising documentation of practice, where participants are expected to produce tangible outputs that they can return to their organization with. Writeshops enhance the networking and writing skills of everyone involved in the process.

BrochureHigh Quality, Efficiency, And Effectiveness
These are priorities for IIRR Global Learning Program in delivering international training for development practitioners. From planning to the evaluation phase, we regularly review our training methods and the results we achieve. We also put a high value in tracking the applicability of training approaches that we pass on to every participant.

While the courses are primarily for development agents, IIRR can customize them to meet the specific needs of organizations. These courses can include virtual and face-to-face sessions, as well as interactive learning exercises and workshops in communities.
