Summary of Training
As an intermediary, you probably intend to deliver workshops, seminars or a conference with a unique focus. Training is a direct way to build capacity with a large number of nonprofit organizations in a limited amount of time. To assure that your training is effective, you need to take a systematic approach to designing and delivering your training.

Your training plan should include these five phases: analyze, design, develop, implement and evaluate.
