MDF Asia – Overview

At MDF Asia we work closely together on big projects but also work independently on tailor-made trainings, open-entry trainings and consultancy assignments for development sector, public sector, international/national CSOs, and, increasingly, the private sector. One of our unique selling points is that we don’t teach but we facilitate. In our consultancies, we use participatory approaches in order to make our interventions more sustainable. In our trainings, we approach participants as professionals whose learning process we facilitate. Our focus is on experiential learning and practical applicability.
