The first Training of Facilitators in Results-focused Project Design and Management for 2009 was held in Ubud, Bali from 3-11 March 2009. It was attended by 22 participants from in and out of the southeast asian region who were all enthusiastic in learning and practicing the tools and skills in results-focused participatory project planning and management.
As in previous TOF’s conducted by ADB, a big challenge faced by the participants is with absorbing and familiarizing themselves with the project design and management tools, as well as with the intermittent inputs on facilitation skills. These tools are introduced and delivered in an intensive 12-hour workday session for four straight days. However, what comes next is an even bigger challenge of applying the facilitation skills they learned through practice sessions using the participatory project design tools.
But if one is in a phenomenal and enchanting place like Ubud, with all that scenery and culture, who cares about working hard from time to time? All 22 participants surely did not mind.
