Myanmar

Mingalabar! MDF Training & Consultancy has been working in Myanmar since 2013 and has established an office in Yangon in 2016. We have a team of 8 qualified international and national trainer/consultants and a strong network of​ freelance consultants we work with on a regular basis. With this team, we support NGOs, UN agencies, and the private sector to improve their performance and create impact.

Organisational Development and Capacity Building

We provide a large range of organisational development and capacity building services, both online and face to face.  

We often start with a Training Needs Analysis or an Organisational Capacity Assessment so that we can design the training or learning trajectory fully tailored to your needs. Our longer-term learning trajectories start with a participatory capacity assessment, followed by a series of training and workshop modules, and we often include hands-on coaching to help implement the learning.  

Examples of our training and workshop topics include:

• Leadership and People Management
• Monitoring & Evaluation for Learning
• Resource Mobilisation and Proposal Writing

• Report writing
• Results Based Management
• Project Management and Project Cycle Management
• Finance management and HR management for CSOs
• Facilitation skills (online and face-to-face)

• Training of trainers  
• Strategic Planning workshop
• Teambuilding workshop and team retreats
• Data Management and Analysis
