Resource database of Indigenous peoples’ network and professional experts Print
Dear AIPP members,

Warm greeting from AIPP!

The Regional Capacity Building (RCB) desk of the Asia Indigenous Peoples’ Pact (AIPP) is in the process of developing a Resource database of Indigenous peoples’ network and professional experts within AIPP’s network for Asia. This initiative is taken to avail indigenous peoples’ organizations in Asia with a pool of Indigenous Experts and Resource Persons for training and education on various issues effecting Indigenous Peoples. The database will be periodically updated and shared with Indigenous Peoples’ Organizations and other non-governmental organizations working on indigenous peoples’ issues in Asia.
 
In this connection, we would initially like to explore and tap the resources of our members’ and networks’ organizations in an attempt to facilitate a comprehensive inter-peoples empowerment and capacity development for the indigenous peoples and by the indigenous peoples in Asia.

The database will be developed in two-tiers:
-    the organization’s competency and,
-    individual expertise
In this endeavor, we look forward to your contributions in the spirit of building cooperation and solidarity and in strengthening the indigenous peoples’ movement in Asia.

Please fill out the attached template with the necessary information requested and return to us. We would appreciate if you fill out the forms and email it back to us by 15 September, 2009.

Further, kindly do also send us your consent to be added to the database, and shared with others.

Synthesis of ICOLT Workshops (23-25 May 2007) Print
Achievements, Lessons Learned 
• LT - prelim visit/training design, 2 ToTs, 6 LTs (support visit), instructors meeting (Mindanao), and Evaluation  
• COT – prelim visit/training design, 2 ToTs, 2 COT (2 – 3 support visits) and Evaluation  
• Lead Trainors need to have sufficient time to contact local partners to understand the local context and thus able to design the training according to the need of the organisation (6 months, invite partners of subsequent phase in RTNW)  
• Local organisations also need sufficient time to be able to select suitable trainers and trainees esp COT (5-6 mths) and localisation of materials. “Dry Run”?  
• Sufficient funding to support partners and lead trainers administrative and communication needs  
• Commitment from lead trainers and local organisations to communicate with ICOLT RC  
• Exchanges very useful and develop close relations and learning among trainers and trainees  
• Materials – adapted and translated written materials, audio-visuals  
• Need ongoing assessment eg Bangladesh – quarterly review and reflection  
• Adapt training methodologies based on situation eg Cambodia – COT held in different communities and trainees continue to be activitely involved in the advocacy work for their communities, and Bangladesh included Constitution and Fundamental Rights and established a Centre to detract too much interference from intelligence  
• Require a local indigenous trainer, or if not possible, the non-IP trainer must emphatize with IPs and indigenous concepts. Local partners and lead trainers must maintain direct and ongoing assessment of the training team  
• Partner organisation link training with other existing relevant training eg PACOS linked LT to their Annual PO training, other training opportunities, and joined forces to conduct LT/COT7. Ongoing Monitoring and Evaluation linked to Quarterly PO meetings.
