Project Characteristics and Results
Capacity - Building Component
Learning and experience sharing sessions will be held to further support the scaling up of conservation approaches in other communities. This approach will expand on experiences from the pilot project and foster better understanding of project results. Other communities will get to involve in the same project, thereby creating a space for competition. The essence of this is to create opportunities for learning and sharing experience for the replication of success stories and lessons learnt. At the end of every step, results will be assessed and documented; monitoring and evaluation tools will be developed to track deliverables and results.
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
Regular radio talk shows and community outreach events will be organised to take beneficiaries through learning modules on environmental management, agro-forestry and agribusiness.
