[WSIS CS-Plenary] E-Forum on Measuring the Impact of Development Communication

[Thomas Ruddy]

Dear all,
Karen's tip refers to a Website that links to an event that coincides with
the latter part of PrepCom 2 in Germany, in case anyone wants to attend
both:

February 17-24, 2005: WSIS PrepCom 2, Geneva, Switzerland 

February 21-25, 2005: 4-day workshop on a "Participatory Approach to
Monitoring and Evaluation using Outcome Mapping (OM), which has been used in
projects, programs and organisations in Latin America, Africa and Asia", in
Lebensgarten, an "ecologically sound and economically viable human
settlement" between Bremen and Hanover, Germany,

Ralf Bendrath, you know how to get from Geneva to Bremen, right?

Regards,
Thomas Ruddy,  Switzerland,  http://www.wsis.ethz.ch/calendar.htm
