ASEAN – German Technical Cooperation Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region 8 th MEETING OF ASEAN WORKING GROUP ON ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE CITIES (AWGESC) 21 - 22 July 2010, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia The Regional Training Approach “Train for Clean Air” Roland Haas - GTZ Napaporn Yuberk – GTZ

ASEAN – German Technical Cooperation Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region The Reality • Most AQM courses were developed and delivered by experts from Europe and the United States • Capacity building for delivery of training itself did hardly take place, no “home” for training • Donor-financed AQM training activities usually one or two-time events, no follow-up, no evaluation of impact • High “instructor-dependency” • Lack of systematic needs assessment, course development and delivery • But external funds for training will most likely always be available…. .

ASEAN – German Technical Cooperation Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region The Regional Training Approach The Vision Training in clean air issues in the ASEAN Region is efficient, effective and sustainably organised Call for a systematic training approach, e. g. TRAINMAR, following the UNCTAD Training Development Guidelines

ASEAN – German Technical Cooperation Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region The Regional Training Approach Our Approach in Detail • Develop a systematic needs analysis, based on a targetoriented training approach • Eliminate “instructor-dependency” • Provide high quality, "pre-fabricated" training material by specialised course developers • Deliver training by experts trained as instructors, not by teachers and professors • Give the regional training system a branding e. g. “TRAIN for Clean Air”

ASEAN – German Technical Cooperation Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region The Regional Training Approach Our Approach in Detail (2) • Establish a regional hub for course development and national networks of training centres • Create a regional training system with clearly defined "Building Blocks", i. e. topics which could be developed independently from others • Develop the basic Building Blocks with inputs from the GTZ • Approach other donors to join in to finance the development of further Building Blocks • Allow interested donors to finance delivery of courses properly announced in an annual training programme
