In order to prepare a long term plan for the continuation of the Swedish support within this area an LFA workshop was organised.

In the workshop 14 people participated representing IGF Moçambique, ESV, IGF Portugal, the Embassy of Sweden, the Embassy of Finland, SCI and IGAE (Inspecção Geral Administrativo do Estado).

 

After introduction, the participants stated their expectations of this workshop. The participants wrote down a proposal for an IGF vision in order to develop further. These contributions were later on discussed and develop further. The participants also elaborated with different objectives, risks and obstacles to be resolved in order to reach the vision. In the end of the workshop a plan for actions in the near future was agreed upon.

 

At the end of the workshop a brief evaluation of the seminar was made which showed that in overall the workshop was regarded by the participants as successful.

The participants were very goal/objective/result oriented and understood what was expected of them. The facilitator, together with the group, created good working conditions which led to the successful results.

 

The workshop was facilitated by Federico Bussi, Senior Associate of the PCM Group.
