A training manual for trainers

This CD, in combination with the printed Training Manual, provides a convenient, up-to-date training resource that allows interested people and trainers to increase awareness on waste management and related issues at every level in their organisation. This manual has seven sections and each section has slides on a particular topic. Most of the points are self explanatory, but some of them, which may need explanations, have descriptive notes. The CD provides the PowerPoint ® shows for all the sections and notes for each of these in the printed manual. For a detailed description, please refer to the README.rtf file shifted with this CD.
