The Global Learning Program is dedicated to empowering individuals and communities, continually adapting to address new challenges. We focus on key themes such as Regenerative and Climate Resilient Agriculture, Biodiversity Conservation, Natural Resources Management, Gender Equality, Food Security and Nutrition, Local Health Systems, Aquaculture, Disaster Risk Reduction Management, and Participatory Action Research, recognizing their importance in building sustainable societies.
Since the 1980s, we have partnered with international NGOs, following the rural reconstruction approach and embracing the key capabilities envisioned by our founder, Y.C. James Yen.
Today, our collaboration with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) enables us to implement impactful country-level programs in crucial areas like food systems, environmental preservation, education, economic empowerment, and health. Through these initiatives, we aim to enhance community resilience, promote sustainable development, and contribute to a more equitable world.
High 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.
Training courses offered
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.

How do we do it?
Tailored Training Courses for Organizations:
Training courses are designed to meet your organization's specific needs. At least eight (8) participants from one organization or network are required.
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.
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.
