A training programme is a structured learning experience designed to build specific skills, knowledge and capacities among participants to address real-world challenges. At RECOFTC, our training programmes go beyond traditional classroom learning by integrating practical, action-oriented approaches that empower participants to apply what they learn in their work and communities.

Our training programmes are:

  • Tailored: Each programme is customized to the needs of participants, ensuring relevance to their roles, backgrounds and the challenges they face.
  • Action-oriented: We focus on equipping participants with practical tools and techniques they can immediately use to solve problems and make informed decisions.
  • Participatory: Our programmes emphasize collaboration, allowing participants to learn from each other through group activities, discussions and field-based exercises.
  • Delivered in multiple formats: We offer training in various national and local languages across the region, utilizing face-to-face, online, hybrid and blended (face-to-face and online) approaches to maximize accessibility and inclusivity.
  • Grounded in expertise: Delivered by experienced trainers, our programmes incorporate the latest knowledge in forestry, climate change, gender equality and community development.
  • Rooted in local contexts: With our strong connections to communities, RECOFTC integrates local insights into training, ensuring that participants gain a deeper understanding of ground realities.

Our training programmes cover a range of topics, including:

  • sustainable forest management
  • climate change adaptation and mitigation
  • gender equality and social inclusion
  • governance and community rights
  • livelihood development and economic benefits for communities

These programmes ensure learners gain not only new skills and knowledge but also the confidence to drive meaningful change in their work and communities.
