A ten-day training will be held at Haramaya University, Ethiopia from the 15th to the 25th of September 2008. The workshop is for service providers and project staff interested in developing their skills and capacity to implement the Managing for Impact approach.
The overall purpose of the workshop is to continue to develop and strengthen the MfI network in eastern & southern Africa to support pro-poor initiatives to effectively manage towards impact.
Specific objectives include:
