Training & Capacity Building
 
Modes of offering
 
Client Commissioned
The client selects the appropriate course/s, participants and decides the logistical arrangements for the offering (location, transportation and communication etc), which is then conducted by EDA training team on mutually agreeable dates for a lump-sum professional fee (which mainly includes the module development and trainer costs).

Open Access Offering
EDA conducts retail offerings of its courses from time to time, where participation is elicited from the organisations working in the area of microfinance and microenterprise. A fixed course fee is charged per participant, which covers module development, trainer costs, lodging & boarding and other logistical incidentals.

The course announcement is circulated by e-mail/fax/postal correspondence through an exhaustively compiled client database in advance. It is being planned that in near future, newsflashes on the EDA website would be deployed to inform our partners of the planned retail offerings and keep them constantly updated
