About the Human Resources Managers Seminars/Workshops
For any organization,the Human Resources Department is critical for the implementation of policies, programmes and operations for an effective delivery of goods and services. MEFMI governance structures instituted the human resources seminars/workshop series in order to link the Secretariat capacity building activities with those responsible in the member states.

 

About Training of Trainers Workshops
The Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop is a practical, overview of the training function in MEFMI capacity building initiatives. The ToT prepares new trainers in the MEFMI region with the critical training skills they require and introduces seasoned practitioners to the latest techniques for delivering meaningful training. The content for this workshop is practical and grounded in real world experiences.  In order to enhance impact, MEFMI uses the latest tools and research techniques that focus on what happens before, during, and after delivering training.

A consolidated approach is used in the identification of potential trained trainers. Thus the Secretariat will take time to review officials in all the client institutions on the basis of their expertise, experience, exposure and performance at some MEFMI activities. Officials deemed to have met the satisfactory level will be called upon to undergo the accelerated training oftrainers’ course.
