TRANSCRIPT
Crafting and facilitating delivery of climate finance training is one of our greatest passions at E Co.
Drawing from our decades long experience with designing climate finance programmes and projects, and all that goes with that, we have the institutional and individual knowledge to design bespoke tailor-made packages to our clients and their beneficiaries.
Core to capacity building, individually or institutionally, is understanding the needs, the gaps and most importantly the people.
This is key to the design of all our training. We develop online and in person trainings and have experience with full e-learning platform development. And we develop them all around the people that will be using them.
So important to capacity building is practice. Theory is only as good as the use of it. We not only bring practice into our methods, and support mentorship programmes that provide coaching to individuals developing climate projects and programmes. We ultimately strive to leave the capacity for development of climate finance projects and programmes in the hands of those on the frontline of the climate crisis to accelerate transformation to a climate resilient and low carbon future.
