THIRD ASARECA EAAPP Report

The Third ASARECA-EAAPP planning meeting was held from 24 to 28 January, 2011 at the Imperial Resort Beach Hotel, Entebbe, Uganda and was attended by a total of 68 participants drawn from the four EAAPP countries, representative of the World Bank, Uganda regional office and ASARECA Secretariat. The meeting was designed to take the participants through a participatory step-by-step process of reviewing, discussing and consensus building towards the finalization of the mechanisms for information sharing, out-scaling, capacity building, policy harmonization, assessment of the progress made towards the completion of the planning process and make appropriate recommendations on the way forward. In order to ensure effective delivery of the expected outputs, the meeting adopted a hands-on approach with a logical combination of plenary presentations, discussion group sessions and plenary feedback and consensus building sessions.
