 A subsequent workshop was organized to train the team in 'Training Of Trainers and Communication Skills' in order to increase skills and capacity and help the environmental education teams prepare to implement their programmes. Topics covered included: identifying training needs and target groups, refining material for identified audiences, using visual aids, group dynamics and others (Fig. 3, 4). The workshop was carried out in July 1999 and was seen as a priority activity of the LTBP Training Strategy of Roland & Trudel (1998).
Other aspects of the LTBP Training Strategy included on-the-job training across all of the technical components. On-the-job training included workshops for participants from national institutions across a variety of disciplines ranging from: Biodiversity, Pollution and Sedimentation Methods, SCUBA Diver Training, Taxonomic Training, Industrial Pollution, Palynological Training, Water Quality Analysis Training, Socio-Economic Analysis Training and GIS Training, among others.  In addition to these sorts of training activities, LTBP also sponsored 12 students from African universities to participate each year in Nyanza Project, an intensive academic training experience on geology, limnology and biology of the African Great Lakes. Through the implementation of the Training Strategy, training and exchanges strengthened the relationship between the riparian countries. This experience also strengthened national programs as training needs were linked to the national LTBP SAP and TDA priorities and planned and implemented by national staff. It is hoped that this program will continue to be implemented by the four countries into the future. |
