Training Program in Community-Based Development

Offered in partnership with the International Institute for Sustainable Development

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) contracts out Village Earth field staff to provide innovative training courses to individuals and organizations that work in communities, non governmental organizations, and governmental programs to achieve a plan for sustainable community-based development.

IISD's courses use the Village Earth Approach to sustainable development as the basis for its course design and program activities. The Village Earth approach is multi-sectoral, and therefore our courses cover a range of sectors in an integrated and participatory format.

IISD offers courses and Colorado State University certificates in the field of community development. We offer training seminars and an online certificate program through the Continuing Education department at Colorado State University . Our courses focus on planning, design, project implementation, networking, and evaluation. Participants learn techniques of mobilizing community effort, generating appropriate technologies, and building community based organizations. Courses are also offered on-request at any location providing that there is sufficient number of students registered.
