Following this situation analysis, a number of preliminary working sessions were carried out with the aim of: focusing the workshop according to staff and user groups wishes and expectations; identifying and designing the evaluation and re-planning exercises to be carried out during the event; and training the workshop team in their facilitation².

² In addition to the above mentioned occasional and regular consultants. Workshop Team included Mr. Dungana (DSC Assistant Soil Conservation officer), Mr. Thapa, Mr. Joshi, Mr. Sheikh (Area Facilitators), Mr. Shresta (Ranger), Mr. Pharindhra (Field assistant) and Ms. Dunga (Group Promoter). Further support was provided by Mr. Tcharithra and the Group Promoters in-charge of other areas. Though not necessary for the implementation of the workshop, such a numerous team (actually, the whole project field staff) was joined in order to allow everybody to learn by doing how to design and implement these events.
