EU-CORD members are invited to participate in this virtual  Medair-hosted training.

The Process Excellence Energiser training inspires and equips NGOs, nonprofits and other development and humanitarian actors to continuously improve in order to reach more people in a better way with the limited resources entrusted to them.

Process Excellence integrates corporate world Lean and Six Sigma thinking, concepts and tools with development and humanitarian principles to enable organisations to achieve greater impact, empower and engage their teams, and continuously improve to make their work easier, better, faster and cheaper.

The training begins with an engaging three-hour experiential exercise that helps participants to grasp the thinking, concepts and tools in a tangible and memorable way. Then we cover:

• What is a process, and why are good processes important?
• What is Process Excellence, and why is it important?
• Eight types of waste that hinder our work
• Seven ways to improve for better process performance
• Toyota Kata (a structured method for continuously improving)
• Applying the learning

This one-day Process Excellence Energiser training is a pre-requisite to the one-week Lean Green Belt course.

To mark celebrating their 50th anniversary, ZOA are hosting a Symposium on the importance of Peacebuilding for sustainable development. Alongside colleagues, experts, researchers, partners, and donors, discussion will be led on the best strategies/interventions, collaborations and the role of Peacebuilding.

During the Symposium, ZOA will present its research on the reasons why people engage in violence with concrete examples on how ZOA is working towards peace.

EU-CORD members are invited to participate in this Medair-hosted training.

Achieving strategic objectives requires processes that work well, because processes are how we do our work on a repeated basis. Good processes get good results. They should not be complicated. When they are simpler, it is easier for us to achieve greater impact at lower cost.

This five-day, 40 hour, course provides intensive, interactive and hands-on exposure to Lean process improvement concepts and tools through live classroom learning and coached application to a process that you are a part of.

This course is tailored to the values and contexts of NGOs and other humanitarian and development actors. Thus, you will immediately be able to apply the concepts and tools to your work, to improve the impact, quality, and cost of your work with the world’s most vulnerable children, families and communities affected by crises and poverty.

After a gap of four years EU-CORD is back with fully updated workshop materials to help you get the most from your interaction with EU Delegations, DG INTPA project applications and consortia development.

The workshop, which is held in English, is open to all EU-CORD members and their partners in the East Africa region (or even beyond!).

Over 3-days, the workshop will use an interactive methodology to cover the following:

• A little bit of theory to give participants the big-picture when it comes to DG INTPA funding for civil society
• Practical tips and tools for analysing the call guidelines
• What we’ve learned about writing successful concept notes and proposals (including logframes and budgets)
• Partnership and Consortia arrangements
• Value-add elements, including Third Party Support
• And finally, a little bit about rules and regulations
