Narrative Description of the Project:

The Empower Youth for Work (EYW) project was a five-year programme under OXFAM, funded by the IKEA Foundation. The programme focuses on enabling young people (especially young women) in rural climate-affected areas of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Ethiopia to seek and obtain decent work. The program activities promote climate-friendly practices and support young people and their communities in adapting to the effects of climate change.

Under this assignment, IPTM conducted a portion of a capacity-building program on Training of Trainers (ToT) on Facilitation Skills from September to November 2019 in Dhaka, Barishal, Khulna, Rangpur, and Rajshahi. A total of 250 participants received training in eight batches. IPTM developed a training module on facilitation skills and equipped the facilitators at the field level to facilitate soft skill training effectively at the community level to bring out positive changes in the local communities.
