[hre-asiapacific] the Master training on mainstreaming child participation (Bangkok, 4-9 April 2005)

Dear friends,

Greeting and Happy New Year! Hoping this new year brings you a lot of
happiness and prosperous!

I am writing to you today to follow up my previous email asking about your
recommendation for person to attend the Master training on mainstreaming
child participation. I attach the previous e-mail below this e-mail too.
The training objectives are:

a.. Sharing of the child participation research findings to members of CWA
Child Participation Task Force members in a Sub-regional meeting in April
2005. b.. A pool of resource persons trained in delivering
context/organization specific (based on research findings) training on
mainstreaming child participation in each of the countries that research
has been conducted This kind of training was recommended by CWA partner in
child participation workshop in May 2004.

Currently, our donor had confirmed to fund this kind of activity. The
training will be held in Bangkok for participants in Southeast Asia on
April 4 - 9, 2005.
It would be great if you can recommend us names that you think have
capacity to be trainers in your country as they will oblige to conduct the
same TOT in the country and in-house training in your organization as
well. I am preparing the form now, once it is ready I will circulate it to
you.

May I have your suggestion by, at the latest, 11 January 2005?

Looking forward to hear back from you about names.

Thanking you for the anticipation.

In solidarity,

==============================================

Dear all,

Greeting from CWA secretariat!,

Drawing from the one of the program objectives for 2003-2006 to
institutionalized child participation as well as reflecting from Child
Participation workshop
recommendations last May 2004, as a network we are mandated to
institutionalise child participation as well as to build capacity of
network members.
As part of this mandate, currently we are documenting experiences in child
participation among member organisations in 9 countries. Many of your
organisations are part of this documentation.

Given that,  network members have asked for organisation-specific, tailor
made training programmes on child participationat the mainstreaming workshop.
I am writing with respect to the proposed capacity building programme on
child participation for CWA network members. Now we are trying to develop
a concept note (attached) and its logical framework matrix for how these
training program can be organized. Very briefly, the concept talks about:

a) identifying training needs of member organisations
b) planning Training of Master Trainers Programmes to create a pool of
resource persons on child participation in each country and
c) conducting tailor made training programmes at the organisation level.

We need your inputs and advice on how you would like us to go about this
programme.

Very specifically we need your inputs on:

1. Your opinion and suggestions on the process in the draft concept note.
2. What, if any, are the specific training requirements of your
organisation in institutionalising child participation.

3. We would like nominations from you for two persons from your country who
have the potential to be Master Trainers on institutionalising child
participation. These
must be people with considerable experience in child participation and
should be trainers who can work with both adults and children. These
persons could be

* staff of your organisation .
* they could be staff from other organisation or independent trainers/
consultants/experts.
* They should be fluent in English and local language.
* Their ToR will include a) attending a Master Training programme in
Bangkok and working with the entire group to develop draft training manual
to be taken back to the
countries (about 10 days), b) working with your organisation in assessing
training needs (5 days), c) delivering training to your organisation and
simultaneously training 2 adults and two children from your organisation as
trainers (10 days), d) finalising training manual in local language in
consultation with you. These people will be taken under contract for the
commitment we want from them, therefore if they are your employees or
employees of the other organisation, we will need commitment from those
organisations as well.

Looking forward to hear more from you.

In solidarity,
