What it is

A Training-of-Trainers programme develops a cadre of local trainers who can train frontline and management staff across many wards or ULBs — the multiplier that lets capacity scale beyond any single engagement.

Why it matters
  • ToT scales training across many cities cost-effectively
  • Local trainers understand local context and language
  • It embeds training capability permanently
The multiplier

Trainers who train, capacity that scales

A local cadre of certified trainers is the multiplier that lets capacity spread across wards and ULBs long after any single engagement ends.
