Project description:

The project implemented by the Foundation in Support of Local Democracy (FSLD) and the Georgian Association of Local Officials (SATMA) was developed in response to the growing demand for training in many areas in the course of democratic transformations taking place in Georgia since November 2003. The project consists in sharing Polish experience in the methodology and provision of training and project management. It serves the purpose of improving the competence of Georgian employees of training and consulting institutions and organisations that render consulting and training services to public administration and NGOs. The effective transfer of knowledge and skills and, in the longer term, the shaping of the attitudes of training beneficiaries and consulting services as well as practical support for the foundations of the social dialogue depend to the large extent on the quality of trainers’ and consultants’ work.

•  Introducing project management methods into SATMA’s standards and practice.

 

Implementation:

•  Training for SATMA’s employees and partners in training methodology involving active teaching methods;

 

•  Training in project management;

 

•  Study tour of Georgian trainers/consultants to Poland .

 

The programme covered 30 trainers/consultants co-operating with SATMA.

Training objectives: learning and acquiring the skill of training involving active methods by following a practical step-by-step procedure from the training preparation stage, i.e. planning the objectives of training, its curriculum, developing tasks and exercises involving active teaching methods, to the training provision and evaluation stage.

 

Training entitled Project management

Training objective: learning the project management methodology – specifying project objectives, creating a timetable, budget, assessing the risk of task implementation and goal attainment, management of task quality, the principles of internal communication and co-operation of the project implementation team, project monitoring and evaluation.

 

 

Study tour of six Georgian trainers/consultants to Poland

The study tour agenda was prepared on the basis of the Georgian trainers’/consultants’ needs such as gathering materials and getting experience in two selected areas: “The best managed city: competition and ranking criteria in Polish practice” and ”Training/a course in economic development for the students of public administration”. Seminars and consultation sessions were organised in Białystok ( College of Public Administration ) and in Warsaw (FSLD) with an aim to present and summarise Polish experience in the two selected areas. As a supplement to training provided in Tbilisi , the study tour to Poland included the presentation of several additional methods applied in active training and in project management.
