Background:
NVDA member organizations are dealing with volunteers of different cultures, who are involved in IVS, and these volunteers require specific skills to understand and address their IVS projects. Hence, it is essential to impart training to an individual with a view to preparing him/her for his/her future role as a trainer in an organization/ project. This is a process which aims to develop his/her capabilities and capacities of imparting training to others as a skilled professional. Besides, TOT also aims to help organisations to build their own cadre of trainers. Thus TOT has a dual role to play: the individual’s growth and the organization’s growth. The focus of TOT is not only to build a cadre of trainers, but also to develop necessary orientation, awareness and abilities to perform a catalytic role as facilitators of change.
