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?

program development workshop
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.

curriculum development workshop
If they're talking about the development of a course, otherwise I would use "program developement workshop"
