WGNRR HeRWAI toolkit training for Philippine Partners

WGNRR is holding a workshop to share a HeRWAI toolkit with our Philippine Partners from September 28th – September 30th, 2010 at Lake Island Resort, Binangonan, Rizal. This training will provide a general introduction to the toolkit for a range of NGOs. The training will not specify which policies or practices organisations will address using the tool, rather this will be explored by organisations themselves based on their own advocacy priorities. WGNRR can provide examples of how the tool has been used elsewhere and participants will be encouraged to share ideas and identify how they might use the tool within their own action planning.

2. Experience as a trainer or resource person and proven capacity to conduct feedback training.

3. Priority will be given to WGNRR members and Members of an existing SRHR network
