Project description
TaTEDO has developed numerous materials for training different skills on sustainable energy technologies, business development and environmental conservation. Most of these materials have already been produced in form of handouts and already used in field.

However, feedback from use of these materials indicates that they have not been developed to a good quality standard for publication and wide dissemination. The main reason for this is that they have not been thoroughly reviewed. Besides, the corresponding training and dissemination strategy has not been explicitly described and thought through.

Furthermore,  printing these manuals as handouts in A4 sheets is not suitable for field use. Users find it difficulty in handling, storing and using them. The materials in the form of loose papers are prone to destructions by water, mutilation by children or insects.

The main objective of the project is to improve the training strategy of TaTEDO, which comprise as its main tool the training manuals. An objective is therefore to improve the structure, presentation and where possible the contents of TaTEDO’s training materials and publish them in forms of booklets.

Eight sample materials have been chosen for review and publication, representing at least one skill/knowledge from all technical departments in TaTEDO. These sample materials have been identified by the Information and Knowledge Management Department in cooperation with respective departments.

The materials which have been included in this project are results of TaTEDO’s own work from trainings, technology adaptations, research and skills derived from actual work in field and interaction with technicians, artisans, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders.
