PORJECT OBJECTIVES/TARGETS• To develop guidelines for packaging of research
outputs for uptake pathways. 3 meetings for developing technical guidelines To conduct workshop for pre-testing guidelines To recommend guideline for packaging research outputs
• To generate approaches that improve stakeholder involvement in packaging and repackaging of research outputs
To conduct 3 meetings for developing approaches To develop 9 fact sheets
PORJECT OBJECTIVES/TARGETS• To develop innovative approaches that improve
community involvement in dissemination of research outputs
5 equipment bought to strengthen NaSARRI information centre
5 meetings for developing approaches conducted 1 more community information centre technically supported
to establish 2 trainings to develop capacities of the community to manage
information centers conducted
• To disseminate project outputs 1 meeting conducted for sharing project outputs
