Just came across this three-word sentence ‘Learning isdigesting’ and couldn't resist sending you this email to tellyou that day after day I am realising how important the DPPtraining has been to me. I also realised the importance ofgiving time for things to sink in. The training has given megreat tools that I am using in my daily work in designingpeacebuilding projects, or in reporting to donors, etc. I amnow, more than ever before, able to grasp complex ideasand concepts and able to represent them or convey them ina much clearer fashion. Best part, I am able to enjoy mywork even more, especially when I get to tweak, twist andbend some of the existing tools, or represent them in nicebig wall sized visuals, or sometimes create some of my ownbasic models.Thank you!!Jean-Paul Chami Program ManagerPeacebuilding & Conflict Transformation Specialist and Trainer Forum for Development, Culture & Dialogue(FDCD) Lebanon

A Letter from IPDTC Global Coordinator

Dear Colleagues & Future Participants,

Welcome to the International Peace and Development Training Centre programm e guide for Designing for Impact: Improving the Quality, Impact and Effectiveness of Peacebuilding & Development Programming offered at our Global Academy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

The purpose of the guide is to make sure that you and your organisation, mission, agency or department have all the information you may need about the programme. If there’s something you’re interested in and would like to know that you don’t find in here, please contact us directly.

IPDTC programmes have been run all over the world for the last 20 years – for practitioners on the ground, staff of UN missions and agencies, governments and senior conflict and political leadership. Our programmes are designed to be skills and knowledge intensive, highly practical, and drawing from on-the-ground experience in peacebuilding and addressing conflicts from around the world.

IPDTC has been evaluated by many partners, practitioners and past participants – we have more than 4000 alumni world-wide – as one of the leading centres of excellence in training for peacebuilding, prevention and post-war recovery and peace consolidation. Our portfolio of programmes includes both our Advanced Certificate Programmes offered at the Global Academy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania; Executive Leadership Programmes and Intensive Core Skills Trainings in London; and programmes which are provided upon request and customised for partners, missions and agencies around the world. With a roster of some of the world’s leading trainers and practitioners, IPDTC hosts annually up to 15 training programmes at its Global Centre and in London, and another 20 – 30 provided on-request with organisations, agencies and governments.

At IPDTC we make a commitment to participants and those commissioning trainings that every programme will be highly practical, customised to your needs, and assisting you in developing the critical skills, knowledge and understanding, and capabilities to best support your work. Our goal is to have impact. To help those working in the field – from policy makers to conflict parties and practitioners on the ground –have the support they need to best achieve real, actual and meaningful change to support peacebuilding, violence prevention and post-war recovery.

We welcome your interest, and hope this guide will provide you with an effective introduction to the programme. Should you require any further information about this or any of our other courses, or if you would like to inquire about contracting an IPDTC training, please contact me at [email protected] or [email protected].

About the Programme

Designing for Impact is an intensive training programme designed for agencies, organisations and practitioners working in conflict, crisis and post-war stabilisation and recovery who wish to to improve the quality, effectiveness and sustainable impact of their programmes – including crisis management and prevention, peacebuilding, social, economic and political stabilisation, reconciliation in divided communities, and post-war recovery, rehabilitation and development. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in over 40 countries, Designing for Impact represents the most advanced training programme of its kind for policymakers, practitioners, government officials and donors internationally.

There is a gap between the scale of people’s efforts and investment, the huge number of programmes, activities and organisations in the field, and the impact this is all having on peacebuilding and sustainable post-war recovery and stabilisation. This programme has been designed to close that gap. It is practical and operational, designed for policy makers, donors and practitioners, and those dealing with the daily challenges of peacebuilding, development and recovery in areas affected by war and violence. Unlike almost every programme in the field today, it draws from across the entire breadth of operational experience, lessons learned and practical methodologies – doing so in a way that has been designed to enable agencies and organisations to go in-depth into their work and how they are doing it, coming out with better designs, better approaches, and with real effects.

Participants will also receive Preparation Materials to help them prepare for the programme. This will include a short selection of key readings. Additionally, each participant will be contacted directly by the IPDTC with a Needs Assessment. The purpose of the Needs Assessment is to identify with participants issues of key importance they would like to have addressed in the programme and to identify what they would like to achieve through the training. Participants will also be asked to send in a short biography. The biography of all participants will be shared with them before they travel to the programme.
