Follow-Up Training Workshops

About Follow-Up Training Workshops

Each TOT graduate is required to conduct a minimum of two follow-up training workshops on the INEE Minimum Standards within 12 months of attending an INEE Training of Trainer workshops. INEE trainers are constantly conducting dozens of follow-up trainings on the INEE Minimum Standards around the world. Follow-up trainings on the INEE Minimum Standards target a variety of audiences, from communities and teachers to local and international NGOs, to UN agencies and government officials. The INEE Secretariat has provided increased support to INEE trainers to ensure the relevance of their training workshops to their audiences, by making content and/or duration adaptations to workshop agendas and materials. Below you will find a selection of trainings with related outcome documents, and a link to a report with information on all of the follow-up trainings that have taken place on the INEE Minimum Standards (as of January 2008).

This was a three-day workshop conducted on 18-20 June 2008 in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire at the request of the Ministry of Education with the support of UNICEF, as a follow-up to the INEE Regional Capacity-Building workshop that took place in Cote d’Ivoire in July 2007. It was facilitated by the INEE Coordinator for Minimum Standards and a graduate from the INEE TOT for Francophone Africa. Thirty-seven high-level participants attended: all education regional directors, directors at the central MoE level, and advisors from the Education Minister’s cabinet.
