Capacity building
A workshop for FIRE Africa 2016 grant winners was done at the AIS from 29-30 May 2017. The workshop was on Utilization Focused Evaluation (UFE) and Research Communication (RESCOM), facilitated by Julius Nyangaga, a mentor of the two methods working with DECI-2, an IDRC-funded project titled ‘Developing Evaluation & Communication Capacity for Information Society Research’. A DECI-2 lead team has been introducing the twin processes to various IDRC-funded Information Network projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Eight grantees attended the training, with a travel and accommodation funded by IDRC.
