International Training on Writing and Presentation Skills Toolkit
Enhance Your Professional Communication Skills for Clear and Impactful Presentations and Reports
Course Background
In today’s complex and fast-paced policy and development environments, the ability to communicate clearly and persuasively is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether drafting reports for donors, writing policy briefs for decision-makers, preparing field updates, or delivering presentations at stakeholder meetings, professionals must be able to express ideas with clarity, confidence, and impact.
Many practitioners face challenges when turning technical knowledge into accessible content or delivering messages that truly engage diverse audiences. Issues like overly technical language, disorganized structure, weak visual support, or ineffective speaking styles can hinder even the most important messages from being understood or acted upon.
To meet this growing need, the Environmental Capacities and Sustainability Institute (ECAS) has developed this course to build essential written and oral communication skills tailored to environmental, governance, and sustainability contexts. This practical, hands-on training bridges the gap between knowledge and communication, empowering participants to write and speak with purpose, clarity, and confidence.
