The learning journey for the NCCSRP will be based on design thinking as a design methodology for both content and experience. This is intended to provide a proactive and flexible atmosphere for adopting and modifying the curriculum objectives as situations arise.
The curriculum development process will be done in five basic steps:
- Needs assessment
- Planning Session
- Content Development
- Pilot Delivery and Revision
- Publishing the Completed Package
The process will involve, at a minimum 30 days to design and develop a climate change readiness curriculum. This will allow time for a curriculum planning session, follow-up meetings and/or mechanisms for continued work, a pilot of the original program design, revisions based upon the pilot, and another delivery of the revised program.
Training for NGAOs and NPS Command
To ensure the successful implementation of the National Climate Change Security Response Programme (NCCSRP), a comprehensive Training of Trainers (ToTs) program will be conducted. This program aims to equip a select group of trainers with the necessary knowledge, skills, and facilitation abilities to effectively deliver the training to a wider audience of National Government Administrative Officers (NGAOs) and the National Police Service Command officers.
The ToTs program will consist of two main components: Master Training and Training of Trainers.
Master Training
A total of 90 Master Trainers will be selected, with 15 individuals chosen from each of the Regional Development Authorities (RDAs). These Master Trainers will undergo an intensive training program that encompasses a deep understanding of climate change, the Greening Programme, and effective training delivery techniques. They will be equipped with the expertise to serve as trainers and facilitators in the subsequent Training of Trainers sessions.
Training of Trainers
Following the completion of the Master Training, a comprehensive Training of Trainers program will be conducted.
All the trainers will undergo a rigorous training programme that focuses on enhancing their knowledge of climate change, the Greening Programme, and effective training methodologies. This training will equip them with the skills necessary to deliver impactful training sessions to NGAOs and NPS Command officers within their respective counties
Throughout the ToTs program, there will be an emphasis on interactive learning, practical exercises, and participatory methodologies to ensure the trainers develop the necessary competencies to engage and effectively transfer knowledge to the trainees. The training sessions will be designed to foster a supportive and collaborative learning environment, enabling the trainers to build confidence and refine their training delivery skills.
- A total of 47 County Commissioners will undergo specialized training in readiness management. This training will equip them with the knowledge and skills required to oversee and coordinate climate change interventions within their respective counties.
- A comprehensive training program will be conducted for 369 Deputy County Commissioners and 1,875 Assistant County Commissioners. This training will focus on building their capacity to effectively support and implement climate change initiatives at the county level.
- The training program will also encompass 3,950 Chiefs and 9,043 Assistant Chiefs, who will be trained as Climate Change Agents. This training will enable them to engage and mobilize local communities in climate change actions, including tree planting and environmental conservation.
"A total of 12,993 Chiefs, Assistant Chiefs and Climate Change Agents will be trained"
Upon successful completion of the Training of Trainers program, the newly certified trainers will be equipped to conduct training sessions as part of the National Climate Change Security Response Programme, cascading their knowledge and skills to the broader audience of NGAOs and NPS Command officers across the country.
