Social Sciences - International Org/Dev/Coop | | French term or phrase: atelier d'élaboration | | This is from a passage describing the job specification of a training officer in charge of literacy and sensory needs teachers in Africa. Listed as one of the tasks to be undertaken is 'La coordination de l'atelier d'élaboration des programmes'. Is the 'atelier d'élaboration' simply 'development workshop' or is there some term more suited to the field please? |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseHelen Shiner: 6:01pm Jul 16, 2008: I'm pretty sure that this is right in the field, so I am tending towards the programme development workshop option. Thanks everybody for your time and help; some of your other options may turn up shortly in my piece!

| | program development workshop | Explanation:
I think it is totally appropriate as development refers to the program and that I could not think of a better word for "elaboration" in this context. |
