Training in income-generating activities (IGAs)

As part of its mandate to support French international solidarity associations, the NGO's Microprojects division La Guilde offers new training sessions in micro-development project management. The training courses present simple methodological tools for setting up a development project. They allow participants to master the language of development and donors, allowing for a more "professional" presentation of their project. They offer participants the opportunity to acquire theoretical and methodological elements related to development project management. They combine theory and practical exercises. These training courses are also a place for exchanges and networking between associations or project leaders.

Training objective:

After designing a development project, you must be able to sustain your initiative. Indeed, it must last over time and aim for a long-term impact. To do this, you must, for example, think about cover operating costs, ensure equipment maintenance and guarantee continuity in training. If the State or decentralized structures do not have the financial means for this, you will absolutely have to set up income-generating activities (IGAs). The objective of this training is therefore to provide you with the keys and tools to set up these AGRs.

• Know the different types of existing AGR and the related issues;
• Know how to align your approach with the different stages necessary for the implementation and proper functioning of an AGR;
• Know how to use the main technical tools linked to the implementation of an AGR;
