The effectiveness of training is increased if follow-up with participants is ensured. This allows the organisers to check on the feasibility of follow-on activities discussed during the training and can account for the follow-up needs[NM1] of the participants. Follow-up activities can range from webinars to on-site activities in the respective countries
[NM1]Needs: unclear. = if something has not been understood or if there are follow up questions, or resources needed or something of the sort?
If so: see suggestion for possible re-formulation.
To design appropriate follow-up activities, the content of the training needs to be defined (see Building Block 2). The diversity of activities also depends on the support structure in the countries. If partner (health or climate) projects are in place in the respective participating countries, this allows for greater diversity in follow-up activities that can be conducted.
- Consideration to possible follow-up activities should be given already during the planning process;
- It is advisable to launch a survey to ask for participants interest and preference;
- The creation of a What’s App Group is a quick, easy and cost-effective way to stay in touch with participants and continuously share relevant documents and news with them.
