Rationale

The Indonesia-Australia Specialised Training Project Phase III (IASTP III) is a bi-lateral Project administered through AusAID under the Australian Government’s development cooperation program with Indonesia. The aim is to provide an identified range of short training courses in Indonesia and/or Australia for participants selected from ministries, state enterprises, and non-government organizations.

Aims

Design and Method

The course was conducted using a variety of approaches including: lectures and presentations, small group work, activities, program development and analysis, brief interactive assignments, tutorial groups, simulation exercises and role-plays. The course began in Melbourne, with the Centre for Harm Reduction being responsible for that component. Participants then moved to Sydney to complete the training.
