?I would be interested to talk with you about both of these topics. I have been engaged as a volunteer with agriculture NGOs and networks that support agroecology on the ground and at policy levels and I am an opener and partner in two facilitation and event planning businesses.? So yes would be interested in partnering with others for the RFP.
On the second issue, in do believe there is a need for capacity building in online and in person facilitation.? ?I am also in contact with facilitation and participatory specialists on the continent. It would be interesting to develop? partnerships to innovate online processed and tools that come from the African experience in some kind of knowledge sharing. That could help the field as a whole.
