CIDT facilitates regional dialogue on Caribbean community engagement
A team from CIDT facilitated a half day, virtual Symposium on Community Engagement for the Caribbean Development Bank. The Symposium took place on 1^st December and was held to mark the publication of the newly revised ‘Community Engagement Guidance Note’, which has been developed with inputs from practitioners across the Caribbean and editorial support from CIDT.

So what is ‘Theory of Change’ anyway?

Staff of the Programming and Evaluation Support Unit of the Conflict Prevention Centre (PESU-CPC), in the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) spent several days engaging with this question. PESU deliver regular project management training across the organisation and assure the quality of project design, so there was plenty of experience and lessons to share.
