The project in Bolivia has now started in earnest.
Last weekend, the project invited members from the local branch of the Ministry of Education in Potosi, as well as representatives from the school authorities in the four municipalities where the project works, including local school principals, to a workshop.
The purpose of the workshop was to present the project and all the many activities that are now being implemented in the schools in Potosi and to establish four local project steering groups.
The local steering committees will ensure ownership of the project by the local population and ensure that the project is implemented efficiently and delivers results.
The turnout was great, the discussions were lively and the need for a project that also has ‘gender’ on the agenda was evident. Approximately 75% of the attendees were men.
