The event was held at the APCD Training Building, Bangkok from 6 to 17 February 2012. 2.The training brought together 15 community leaders, experts, professionals and able staff of organizations of and for persons with disabilities from Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. Collectively, the training participants created stimulated learning environment through experience sharing, expertise and knowledge exchanging, as well as valuable time spent together. 3.International resource persons comprised of 6 external experts with intensive experiences in the field assigned. The list included Ms. Aiko Akiyama (Social Affairs Officer, Social Development Division, UNESCAP), Mr. Ghulam Nabi Nizamani (Chairperson, CBR AP Network), Dr. Maya Thomas (Editor-in-Chief, Disability, CBR and Inclusive Development Journal), Ms. Wanda Munoz (Livelihoods Technical Advisor - Asia Programs, Handicap International), Dr. Chamnan Wattana (Secretary, PrasitWattanasiri Foundation), and Mr. Nay Lin Soe (Program Director, Myanmar Independent Living Initiative). Some of APCD staff also played the key roles as resource persons of this training as well. 4.Following the previous ToT CBID Trainings, APCD carried forward the commitment of strengthening an existing/planned CBR Program in developing countries, in order to 1) Develop effective trainers and facilitators, 2) Promote an inclusive development approach to CBR, and 3) Develop CBR and Inclusive Development Strategies. When completing the course, the participated trainers should and could become a well-rounded ‘agent of change’ for people with disabilities in their own community. 5.This training entailed the integration approach of incorporating important skills (facilitation, participatory training, etc.) and knowledge management, through the well-crafted curriculum design, such as new CBR Guidelines, International Instruments (UNCRPD), Disability Equality Training (DET), social, environmental and empowerment components of the CBR matrix, as well as other related components. 6.The learning outcomes were, in turn, effectively implemented in practice during the field visits at Nonthaburi Independent Living Center and Bankrang Self-help group, Nonthaburi province (13-14 February 2012) and a chance to deliver and apply their knowledge and skills from classes combined to develop action-plan and Individualized projects during the project-based learning and simulation session. 7.The training concluded with memorable closing ceremony, which participants were exchanging contacts for future networking and captured final memories together before adjourning safe and sound. ## Program APCD Training of Trainers (ToT) for the Community-based Inclusive Development (CBID) course is specially designed to strengthen and to promote an on-going application of new CBR guidelines in the areas of disability and development. The launching of the new Guidelines on CBR in October 2010 serves as a crucial step forward to enhance CBR projects and to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities in the community. As such, the need for highly qualified CBID trainers has never been greater. In compliance with the above theme, the ToT course at APCD is state-of-the art training, facilitated by recognized APCD resource leaders, with up-to-date CBR concepts and techniques, which participants can apply directly to their practice. The participatory training approach is the heart of APCD training design to promote the empowerment of persons with disabilities and the creation of an inclusive society in the Asian-Pacific region. As a result, the experiential learning cycle (ELC) is applied as a reflective tool ensuring that training participants will be fully equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to become more confident leaders, and eventually, to master CBR projects in the field. **Training Components The course is based on the new CBR guidelines, published in October 2010 by WHO, on the principles of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD); in addition, two principles are highlighted, including the self-advocacy (Empowerment) of persons with disabilities, and sustainability (Management). Thus, the APCD training component is specifically designed to cover those key areas throughout the training in order to achieve a core balance in preparing training participants to become effective CBID implementers. *Knowledge -Understanding Disability (DET) -Latest International Movement and Instruments -Convention on the Rights of PWDs and BIWAKO Millennium Framework -Poverty, Disability and Development -Understanding, Management and -Sustainability of CBID *Skills -Training Methods -Facilitation skills -Facilitation of Learning for Change -Participatory Project management -Knowledge Creation and Management -New CBR Guidelines -Empowerment in CBR focusing on Self-Help Groups, DPOs and Independent living -Environmental Issue focusing on Accessibility *Integration of Knowledge and skills -Field trips -Project-based Learning and Simulations -Action-plan discussions and Individualized project design Training Schedule: Each session will last about 1.20 hrs. Each day will begin with a previous day review (pre-session) and will be ended with a summary. 1) Pre-session is from 8.30-9.00 which normally includes a review of previous day learning experience by the participants as well as house keeping and etc. Morning break runs from 10.20-10.40 while afternoon break is from 14.20-14.40.
