AfricaAdapt Workshops

2-13 February 2009. Nairobi, Kenya. AfricaAdapt organized two workshops to train the network's Knowledge Sharing Officers (KSOs) in various skills and techniques related to the operations of the knowledge sharing network.

The Knowledge Sharing Capacity Building Workshop, which took place from February 2-6, 2009, focused on enhancing skills such as facilitation, collaboration, editing, content management, planning and coordination. It also initiated the KSO mentoring program.

The Outcome Mapping Training, which took place from February 9-13, 2009, introduced participants to the Outcome Mapping approach to planning, monitoring and evaluation. The KSOs were able to develop an Outcome Mapping framework to complement the Project's planning, monitoring and evaluation.
