Professional Development Workshop on Managing Project Preparation for Climate Change Adaptation

04-Sep-2017- 05-Sep-2017
Bangkok, Thailand

​A two-day professional development workshop was held on 4 to 5 September 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand to train select faculty and staff of AIT who had expressed interest to become trainers for the training programme on managing project preparation for climate change adaptation. A total of 15 trainees from various responsibility centres of AIT, such as, the Office of the Vice President for Development, School of Water Engineering and Management, School of Engineering and Technology, School of Environment, Resources and Development, AIT Extension, the Asian Center of Innovation for Sustainable Agriculture Intensification, and the Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific. The two-day event shared the experiences of USAID Adapt Asia-Pacific project in delivering the training programme all over Southeast Asia and the Pacific. The workshop was led by Dr. Keith Bettinger with a special session given by Dr. Peter Noel King on the value of coaching before, during, and after the training. Some key lessons learned from mentoring exercises, such as, early feedback on pre-training homework; group work facilitation and evening clinics during training; and follow-up activities, were discussed in this session as they relate to the long-term impact of the training programme. The remainder of the training focused on the pedagogical techniques in engaging trainees and ensuring knowledge transfer as well as approaches to keeping the training materials up-to-date and responsive to developments in climate finance.
