Awareness raising workshops

IRC and Plan developed a five day workshop to learn about the objectives and principles of scaling up and to design an action research programme. The workshop was organised in the Philippines (in February 2004), in Ethiopia (in April 2004) and in Burkina Faso (in February 2005) by the national Plan offices. Workshop materials are available in English and in French, both on the website and on a CD-rom.

All materials are available for anyone who would like to organise a workshop on scaling up. Please contact Ton Schouten for more information
