International Training Programmes

As part of Sida's work with capacity and institutional development Sida offers international training programmes (ITP) for participants from low-and middle-income countries in priority areas. ITP's methodology takes account of the desire to develop and reform that the participants' organization have expressed in their application to the program.

How to apply for funding

Champika started her own business

For a poor and disabled Sri Lankan woman there is little chance to support oneself. But with the help of the Rehab Lanka project Champika Subashini, 24, from Sri Lanka was able not only to train as a seamstress but also to borrow money for her own sewing machine and start her own business.
