About ELD

Education, Language and Development Training Programmes provides practical training and consultancy services to development organisations in South and South-East Asia. Registered as a charity in the United Kingdom, but based in Kathmandu, Nepal and Bangkok, Thailand, ELD conducts regular open training workshops in areas such as Reporting Skills, Project Proposal Writing and PM&E, as well as a range of in-house assignments which include training, planning, proposal development, teambuilding, project close-out and outplacement.

ELD was founded in 2000 'to enhance the skills of people working in education, sustainable development and human rights using the most appropriate technologies and methodologies'. ELD's objectives are based on extensive research. Between 1997 and 1999 we explored the communication and project management challenges faced by projects and development organisations. Since then we have continued to develop our programmes and responses based on our extensive experience delivering services in South Asia (since 2000) and South-East Asia (since 2003).

Participants describe his training approach as relaxed and well-informed, and regularly mention his ability to demystify learning through easy explanation and examples. That same style has been brought to this Handbook, getting complex points and sophisticated tools across in a no-nonsense, easy to grasp way.
