Australian Development Gateway

The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) strives to support members of the development community in their efforts to reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. The site has been created with participation from members of government, private, academia and non-government organisations. User feedback mechanisms have been incorporated to guide future directions of the site. The site is optimised for low bandwidth access to enable the widest participation throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Delivering effective training

Three Australian Volunteers International (AVI) volunteers share their approaches to delivering effective training in Timor-Leste, Cambodia and the Solomon Islands.

These training tips include:
- Take time to understand your participants and their needs.
- Spend as much time planning the delivery as the content.
- Be flexible and creative in how you use resources.
- Play with conventions, but respect cultural limits.
- Build evaluation systems into your training.
