IPRTA Toolkits

An important dimension of the IPRTA Forum's mandate is to support institution and capacity building in developing countries at country and regional level through pilot projects, training programs, and toolkits.

In this section of the website, we aim to provide a selection of the best available toolkits for different areas within IPRTA, from needs assessment, strategy formulation, stakeholder consultation, through to technical diagnostics, programme design, implementation, to monitoring and evaluation.

Common Needs Assessment Tool, Saana Consulting, 2004
Diagnostic Toolkit for IPRTA Needs Assessment in LDCs, ICTSD/Saana Consulting, 2007

Over time, downloads and links to innovative toolkits developed by IPRTA Forum partners and stakeholders will be added to the page. We welcome your contributions and suggestions. Please send them to Petteri Lammi, the IPRTA Forum Administrator at Saana Consulting.
