Thanks to CIDA and ECCO for giving us the opportunity to hold this exchange SWHISA-SWHIST • and • helping us in Amhara profit from SWHIST experience in Tigray
ANRS PROPOSAL AT PSC MEETING(Applicable to SWHISA as one of all Regional projects) • (Applicable to SWHISA as one of all Regional projects) • Adjust to include both capacity building and development • Stay within agriculture and water development • Overhead component of budget to be according to standards • Adjust the Project within a period of three months • Partner Bureaux to participate in adjustment exercise along w/CIDA • The Project continues
EXPECTATIONS OF PARTNERS • Capacity building to be more practical and at woreda level in particular : learning by doing • At bureau level, capacity to fill gaps through local and external training including short and long-term. Respond to current gaps • Definition of hardware should come from Bureaux and woredas • Do not stay within pilots and move into development actions, scaling up • Management organized as facilitator. Line bureaux to participate in administrating project budget
