Took part in Workshop in July 05 in Switzerland

A) My working situation:
- Program coordinator at Helvetas Zuerich, responsible for the programs in
Central America and the Caribbean
- Member of the working area "Education" at Helvetas, with focus on
professional education


B) My challenge for the workshop:
The workshop offers an excellent platform to exchange and discuss
approaches and experiences in SDRA. I am looking forward to discussing
concrete questions based on project experiences of the other participants.
That way, I hope to come up with new ideas for our projects in the
education section.


C) My contribution:
I would like to share the experiences Helvetas has made in SDRA, especially
also in the Caribbean, where we built up a training for young farmers
(one-year training including a six-month stay on a farm) and a short-term
modular training for women becoming basic veterinarians (duration: 5
weeks).


D) My topical interests:

1. Training Center (and outreach)
This is about designing, organizing, managing and funding a combination of
a fixed training center with various outreach programs that reach into
villages.

2. Capacity and Organisation Development related to SDRA
This is about how to help local organisations/institutions to be able to
organize themselves for efficient SDRA efforts.

3. Mobile Units
This is about how to organize, operate and finance mobile training units
