In order to link the training to the situation in which the participants are or will be working, the trainer should prepare a detailed background paper before the start of the training session. The paper should provide data on existing credit mechanisms, credit unions or co-operative societies relevant to the participants. It should document local experiences with these credit mechanisms and their relevance for human settlement projects. A day before the session starts, the trainer should distribute the background and course papers to the course participants, so that they have the opportunity to read them. |
