Why take this course?

If you are interested in the triangular cooperation modalityand especially if you, as I did, wish to submit a proposal to a bidding process from the Regional Fund for Triangular Cooperation with partners from Latin America and the Caribbean, this course is for you!

A pioneering initiative, the Regional Fund aims to strengthen TrC in the Latin American and Caribbean region for national and global development. Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), since 2011, the Regional Fund has supported various projects in the region through its biannual proposal bidding process. This course will help you formulate a quality projectand be on this list, so let's go ahead!

What will you achieve?

My team and I will lead you through three learning modules so that you can delve into each stage of project formulation: 1. Identification, 2. Negotiation and 3. Design.

The first module will help you address an initial question: what do we want to achieve? In the second module, we will answer the question: with whom? Finally, the third module will take up the first two questions and focus on developing the third question: how?
As you progress through the course, we will provide you with various useful resources for formulating TrC projects, such as guides, maps and questionnaires, among others, all of which you can download and save for later work and reflection.
