Training

Our courses build the capabilities of organizations, policy makers and practitioners, and forest users to make community management of forests more effective.

Our Approach

Our courses and study tours build on participants' own experiences. RECOFTC trainers expand participants' existing skills and knowledge by introducing new concepts and innovations and exploring issues through case study analysis, field visits, and presentations by invited specialists.

RECOFTC trainings use "experiential learning," based on the premise that people learn best through experience and reflection. Our courses promote the sharing of information between participants and experienced field practitioners. Each course is designed to build the specific competences, understandings, and abilities needed to take action. We introduce practical and relevant lessons that can be readily applied in your own workplace environment.
