After extensive research, a comprehensive training programme was designed to meet the objectives previously set by the stakeholders and satisfy the needs of the participants while taking into account the political situation, cultural sensitivities and the existing infrastructure available to support the delivery of the programme.

A new batch of Tamayoz applications will be accepted until November 9th 2017.The program dates are as follows:

• Foundations Leadership course (E-learning) November 12th 2017 to December 9th 2017
• Sector Specific Leadership course (E-learning) December 10th 2017 to December 23rd 2017
• Leadership training in Libya (face-to-face): December 12th 2017 – February 3rd 2018 (each participant will attend one week only over this period)
• Leadership Course in Tunisia (face-to-face) April 8th, 2018 to April 15th, 2018.

TAMAYOZ was designed to be conducted over a period of 14 weeks divided into three different stages for an effective and efficient learning process. The first and second stages of the programme will be based on e-learning modules where the first stage cover the leadership basics while the second stage is more concerned with sector-specific training needs.
