“To promote a culture of learning
and knowledge sharing within the
Irish International Development
Sector.”

Why promote a culture of learning and knowledge
sharing ? Effective development work that
meets quality standards requires a large range of skills at personal, organizational, technical and relationship levels.
Individuals and organizations need support to build these capacities.
