Enhancing Writing & Documenting Skills through WordShop

After about a year of being part of a writing workshop wherein knowledge focal points from across most IFAD projects had taken part, demand for a writeshop (rechristened WordShop) was made by the Livelihoods Improvement Project in the Himalayas for its staff. Some 22 project staff from different levels were chosen for the 5-day workshop. Interestingly, while the first two days were spent on getting to know individual capabilities & challenges and to understand the finer nuances of insightful & effective writing, the participants spent next two days in another workshop on Strategies & Approaches for Small-holder Poultry Rearing, jointly organized with South Asia Pro Poor Livestock Development Programme (SAPPLPP), to not only engage in reporting on the workshop sessions but to develop write-ups demonstrating their perceptions on the issue(s) under reference. The last day of the Wordshop evaluated their writing outputs and discussed strategies to sustain the impetus on effective writing.

The Wordshop training was facilitated by Dr. Sudhirendra Sharma. To read the report, click here
