Dear All, For those of you still working in previous versions of Microsoft Office (2003, 97 etc) please find attached a new version of the file submitted by Eric Regards Christoforos KorakasProject manager www.capacity4dev.eu

Dear All,
I have yet to receive the Draft ouputs from the 1st Workshop but here is the agenda and also the draft concept paper for the SWAP Action Oriented Workshops which will show you how the 2nd workshop fits into the overall picture. You will see that there is a Road Map in the annex, this has been largely modified following the first workshop although I ahve yet to receive the modifications.
To be entirely honest the workshop did not acheive all the outputs that we would have liked, largely due to some poor time management etc. However we are making progress albeit slower than many of us would like.
Best Regards,
John

from what I see from the agenda of the past (and first) seminar, there was almost no deep introduction of the concepts (35 min only) and you immediatly jumped into outputs like Road Map, CoC, Sector Development Plan, ..
Isn't it too fast straight to the point for an internalization of the concepts ? Isn't it too much donor driven ?
As we'll have 3 full days, Eric could spend some time by reintroducing the global concepts and challenges of SWAP and IWRM, if requested. What do you think ?
