What is a Tailor-Made group training?

This Tailor-Made group training (TMT) is part of the Mena Scholarship Programme (MSP). It means to improve the overall functioning of your organisation by training a selected group of staff members. A TMT can solve knowledge and skills challenges by specifically targeting capacity needs of your organisation.

If your organisation meets the criteria you can submit an application. If your application is selected for funding we will publish a call for proposals to find a Dutch training provider that can provide the training tailored to the specific needs of your organisation. The training provider will receive a maximum of € 75,000 to arrange a training for your organisation. This covers the fee of the Dutch training provider, the training location, meals during the training and, if applicable, accommodation and travel costs.
