Objectives of the Workshop & Investors’ Forum

The Workshop was a forum for workers in extension and rural development, industry, vocational training, higher education, research and government, and for investors/donors to interact in order to:

• seize opportunities for application of PROTA’s information in extension work, education and training, research, industry and government policies;

• demonstrate the usefulness of PROTA’s information in assisting above-mentioned target groups to improve the livelihoods of rural communities;

• help in setting priorities for the Second Implementation Phase 2008-2012 and ‘pledging’ support for the programme.

A PROTA Board meeting was scheduled immediately after the workshop in order to transform recommendations in firm decisions without delay.
