RealtimeAid conducts professional trainings for the grassroots initiatives it works with. The trainings outlaid are dependent on the outcomes of an audit of the initiatives. The audit identifies all aspects of an initiatives’ capacities in terms of its work as an aid organisation. Based on the results training opportunities are identified. The trainings are also identified based on the particular requests of the community themselves.

On the other side we trained founders / Supporters on how to move forwards Localising Aid, founders and supporters are trained on several key areas. These include:
- Cultural competency: Founders and supporters need to understand the local culture and traditions of the communities they serve. This includes understanding their values, beliefs, and practices, as well as their history and social norms.
- Language: Language is a crucial factor in communication and building trust with the local communities. Founders and supporters need to be trained on local languages to effectively communicate with the communities they serve.
- Conflict sensitivity: Localising aid requires a deep understanding of the local conflict dynamics. Founders and supporters need to be trained on conflict sensitivity to ensure their aid interventions do not exacerbate existing conflicts or create new ones.
- Gender sensitivity: Gender sensitivity is crucial for ensuring that aid interventions are inclusive and address the specific needs of women, girls, men, and boys. Founders and supporters need to be trained on gender-sensitive programming and analysis to ensure that their aid interventions are gender-inclusive.
- Local partnerships: Local partnerships are essential for effective aid localisation. Founders and supporters need to be trained on building partnerships with local organisations and community leaders to ensure that their aid interventions are locally-led and sustainable.
- Monitoring and evaluation: Monitoring and evaluation are critical for measuring the effectiveness of aid interventions. Founders and supporters need to be trained on local monitoring and evaluation practices to ensure that their aid interventions are making a positive impact on the communities they serve.
