COMPONENT: CAPACITY BUILDING – TRAINING AND AWARENESS-RAISING
ADAPTATION OF THE FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME FOR TRAINING
AND AWARENESS RAISING TO NORTH AFRICA
Stakeholders involved in the conservation
of wetlands and migratory waterbirds must have a common
level of understanding of key issues and practices in order
to be able to communicate effectively with one another across
the flyway.
For this purpose a transferable framework
for training and awareness raising programmes is being produced
under the Wings over Wetlands UNEP-GEF African-Eurasian
Flyway Project (WOW). This framework programme provides
a generic structure and content designed to strengthen capacity
for the conservation of migratory waterbirds and wetlands.
It is made available for adaptation and implementation across
the AEWA region. The training modules are: 1) Understanding
the flyway approach; 2) Applying the flyway approach; 3)
Communicating the flyway approach.
Under WetCap an adapted programme for
North Africa will be developed out of the framework programme
and implemented in all project countries.
• 1-day Meeting of the Training Board
A 1-day meeting will be held with the pre-selected Training
Board members, representing national NGOs or training
institutions in each country, in order to introduce
the existing training programme to them and kick off
its adaptation to North Africa.
Participants:
1-2 experts from each country representing national
NGOs and/or training institutions.
