The three-days GEF/SGP Stakeholder workshop is intended as a catalytic training and capacity-building activity designed to foster the development of country "teams" who experience themselves as responsible for the successful implementation of the GEF/SGP. While the workshop will focus principally on the specific work of the GEF/SGP, it will also build capacity in dealing with issues of sustainable livelihoods and the environment, including:
O Fostering broader awareness and understanding of the linkages between local environment and livelihood concerns and the GEF focal areas;
O Building capacity in small scale project development and implementation, and
O Applying participatory approaches, methods, and tools with respect to project formulation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
