HSF-Team

In its fourth phase now, the HSF water Conservation and Climate Change Programme initiated the planning with a focus on Training of Trainers. The participant group before had elected and potential women leaders from the communities of Rajasthan but this time, the group will be a mix of only elected women representatives and active women leaders of Sanganer and Sirohi districts.

As the training focus shifted to build up the capacity of these women leaders as potential trainers, the training structure had to be revised accordingly. And for the same purpose, the consultation was organized to receive expert comments on the training structure. The programme looks at Water Conservation through the lens of gender and hence, equal inputs were drawn for both the concepts.

After a brief introduction of the programme, Ms. Ritika Bhatia and Ms. RichaAudichya, shared the day to day activities conducted during the three day training and narrated the concepts that are explained to the participants.

Great ideas and additions were suggested by the expert group to effectively build the capacities of the participants. Highlighting crucial points like communication strategy, written material, additional collaterals and other tools like videos, graphics, cultural presentations, the feedback of the experts would help us in revising the training structure and the manual.

The online copy of the manual shall be available online soon.
