NEED Expansion and Training Programs for 2014
The Network for Environment and
Economic Development Burma is excited to announce the first round of
training programs for 2014! We are continuing our LLET traning program
in Chiang Mai and continue to expand our programs into Myanmar. NEED
will have two different training programs in 2014.
LLET in Chiang Mai Thailand:
Our Model Farm Initiative in Chiang Mai will be hosting a three month long academic training focusing on Land, Law and Economics (LLET). This training will be very challenging and we have designed it to prepare participants to work in the fast changing areas of Land Rights, Foreign Direct Investment, Global Economics, Land Law, and Community Development
in Myanmar. After completing this course, the participants will be
encouraged to work to promote sustainable economic and community based
growth in their areas. NEED is proud to offer this training two times in
2014. The first training will be late
April to mid July and the second
will be October to December. Each training will have 16 participants who
must be highly qualified and have excellent English skills.click here to learn more about the application process:
