Training of Trainers on Women’s Leadership and Climate Resilience in the Basra Marshlands|2025|
Edmaaj designed and delivered a Training of Trainers (ToT) program in Amman to strengthen the leadership and climate resilience skills of women in the Basra Marshlands of southern Iraq. Implemented in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the project aimed to increase women’s participation in local climate adaptation through a cascade training model.
The three-day ToT workshop equipped 12 women leaders with the knowledge and tools to train an additional 75 women in their communities. Edmaaj developed a bilingual training curriculum and a tailored Training Toolkit that included facilitator guides, participatory exercises, localized case studies, and M&E templates adapted to the cultural and environmental context of Basra.
To measure impact, Edmaaj conducted pre- and post-training assessments to evaluate learning outcomes and tracked participant progress. Ongoing mentoring and virtual support were provided to ensure quality and consistency during the community-level rollout of the training.
