Learning

Working in a development agency is one of the most difficult, complex and rewarding jobs you will ever do. You need the best and most up-to-date resources, advice and support in order to tackle the challenges of your day-to-day work.

ACFID's Learning and Development program provides a range of opportunities for staff and volunteers working in Australian NGOs.  We want to help build your knowledge, skills and confidence in ways which improve your practice, strengthen your organisations, meet your obligations under the ACFID Code of Conduct and contribute to wider change in the sector.

ACFID runs its own learning and development events as well as provides information about events relevant to your needs that are offered by our member organisations and by other organisations.
