What we do

A result only lasts if teams can do the work themselves. We design tailored training courses from the organisation’s actual needs, and run them with exercises drawn from its daily work. We train executives, managers, field staff, cooperatives and relay trainers: for example, 163 community promoters with GIZ.

Module 1

Management, leadership and governance

Leading a team, making decisions and reporting: practical tools for managers and governing bodies.

Leading a team, making decisions, running a board of directors or a general assembly: these can be learned. We train managers in management tools and the rules of good governance, with practical cases adapted to their organisation.

Module 2

Entrepreneurship, business and cooperative management

Keeping the books, running the organisation and growing the business, as with the groups supported for GIZ / CAZ.

Keeping accounts, managing stock, drawing up a budget, running a cooperative: these are the basics that make a business last. We train entrepreneurs, managers and cooperative members in these management skills, as for the SOGB women’s group.

Module 3

Quality, food safety and sector techniques

Good hygiene practices, HACCP and trade skills, applied at the workstation.

We train teams in the requirements of their trade: quality standards such as ISO 9001, hygiene and food safety, pest control, farming practices. Each course starts from the actual practices on site and ends with what needs to change in practice.

Module 4

Capacity building and team support

Training trainers and community promoters, then supporting them in the field until they are self-reliant.

A one-off course is not always enough. We follow teams over time, train in-house trainers or community promoters, and come back to check that the new practices are actually applied.

Our approach

We build the programme with you, then train in the classroom or in the field, with practical cases drawn from your own operations.

  1. Design

    Clarify the need, the context, the risks, the stakeholders and the expected results.

  2. Train

    Bring in the right profiles and carry out the study, inspection, training or support.

  3. Assess

    Document findings and achievements, present recommendations and agree on next steps.
