Services: Training
Training—coupled with an organizational development approach—helps organizations achieve a higher level in attaining development results.
Organizations that value learning do things differently than other organizations-they constantly innovate and anticipate change. Training is an effective strategy for organizational renewal and performance improvement when coupled with incentives, processes and procedures that encourage the use of new skills in the workplace. This holds true for international development agencies as well as for the local organizations whose capacity and performance they seek to strengthen.

SI's approach is learner-centered, highly relevant and participatory, with a focus on achieving measurable results for training investments.
