A “Kids Initiative” Peace Program, sponsored by the World Bank, was held on December 20, 2005, allowing children from Hiroshima to share their city’s tragic experience with their counterparts in East Timor and the Philippines. The TDLC facilitated the connection between Hiroshima University, the venue in Japan, and GDLN Centers in East Timor and the Philippines.
A special session of the Kids Initiative, sponsored by the World Bank’s East Asia and Pacific region, was held at the TDLC on October 1, 2005 connecting children from Japan and Sri Lanka.
Due to popular demand, the “Training of Trainers Course on Microfinance (MFTOT)”, first held as a blended distance learning program last spring, will be given again this autumn over 13 weeks by the TDLC, The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF). Based on performance of assignments, e-discussions and final exam, participants who meet standards will be given accreditation to become a certified trainer of the Microfinance Distance Learning Course.
The first session of the Training of Trainers on Microfinance course was held February 17.
In October last year we announced the development of a collaborative program with the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) and the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) on training for microfinance.
