Lessons Learnt - People can effectively be connected in capacity building opportunities across distances using available communication media. - Clear and measurable objectives need to be established even where there are no direct targeted productivity/economic outcomes to ensure on-going political and economic support. - Constant feedback opportunities are needed for capacity building programs to ensure on-going irrelevance and interest to members. - Women are key contributors to rural and regional communities and benefit from specific support structures. |
