2 Meet the UK Team ACCREDITED SHORT COURSE PROVIDER Welcome to IMA International In 1999 I worked with a group of Afghan development practitioners based in Peshawar. There were major challenges at the time and I was inspired to see what happens when people with enthusiasm and experience have space to weigh their practice in the field against international development theories. The value of connecting people and knowledge at all levels, across boundaries, is our commitment to this day. We have a new course, finance for non-financial managers, and have updated further our leadership and management for development, theory of change, and partnership s services. We are now training in Belgium and Spain too. Keep in touch with us on social media and watch our refreshingly raw training videos and #adviceforlife series.

3 How ima your can support organisation Over the last 33 years IMA has built a reputation as a leading provider of participatory and innovative training and consultancy for the international development sector. Capacity strengthening is at the core of our mission. People choose us because we offer a chance for them to reflect on individual practice and learn about new approaches in development to promote sustainable change, on both a personal and professional level. We have trained over 15,000 development practitioners from NGOs, UN agencies, governments and the private sector across the world. Promoting learning and social change Working in the international development sector we believe gives us the responsibility to promote social transformation and social change. To this end, we work with different partners to develop innovative approaches to development. Specifically, we innovate in the way we conceive monitoring and evaluation by focusing on qualitative data and information. Our Theory of Change approach has a strong self-reflective component which underlines the need to work on an individual level before building up strategies to engage with multi-stakeholder processes. Intangible capabilities In our leadership and management development approach we look at leadership presence, emotional intelligence, resilience, navigating networks and influencing skills. We focus on how leaders can flourish and have impact in complex organisations and settings. Sharing knowledge One of our strengths as an organisation is our ability to merge our experience from the field with academic theory. We promote knowledge sharing among clients and training participants in a way that values everyone s experience so as to foster and embed learning. We believe everybody s knowledge counts and are keen to give voice to the tacit knowledge development practitioners often have, but are not aware of. Consultancy Our consulting is a key part of the work we do, to foster sustainability and ownership of change processes with our clients. With our team of experts who have years of academic and practical experience behind them, we use the best practices from different sectors to help clients implement long lasting change. Our participatory approach employs Theory of Change at the core of its activities, always trying to explore individual and organisational assumptions to bring about change and to create solutions that are flexible and dynamic. Our multi stakeholder approach focuses on the integration and understanding of complexity among social processes. We employ different power analysis tools to support individuals and organisations towards sustainable and inclusive social change.
