Resources for development workers
National Occupational Standards don’t describe ‘how’ you should carry out development work. Instead they set out ‘what’ you need to do and the things you need to know and understand. Here we list some of the practical tools available to development workers.
If you have suggestions for other resources we should publish on this page contact our website editor.
