What is TREE
  • TREE is a tool for promoting local economic
    development that emphasizes the central role of
    knowledge and skills in modern day employment
    growth and thereby also the crucial role of
    training as part of an integrated package of
    actions to create new economic and employment
    opportunities for the poor/disadvantaged
    individuals and groups,
  • TREE is a tool for identifying, designing and
    implementing training and post training
    assistance programs for (self-) employment and
    income generation at the local level
  • TREE is not a training programme in itself,
    rather it suggests a methodology to the design
    and organization of a particular type of the
    integrated programme directed towards local
    economic development and employment promotion
    through training intervention as an entry point
    and organization of relevant post-training
    support.
