UN-HABITAT Training for urban youth fund grantees in Cairo

A very diverse group of 23 youth project grantees of the UNHABITAT Urban youth fund  are gathered in Cairo for 6 days of training.  The trainees, from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, are learning about project management and engaging with locally elected leaders. 2 trainees from Indonesia are Fiany Mandharina (YPMMD West Celebes) and the other is Pipit from Bright Idea  Jogjakarta.
Two days into the training, important lessons & experiences have been gained on the areas of project risk management, logical framework analysis (evaluation), stakeholder analysis tools, gaps and assets regarding engagement with locally elected leaders and communication skills training.
High profile risk management expert Shelby Edwards spoke about managing risk.  Through the magic Skype, speaking from Seattle, Shelby answered participants’ questions.
Participants have been sharing experiences between themselves during & after training sessions.  The young project grantees have so far been participating actively with the vibrant group of trainers constituted by Melanda Schmid, Lee-Anne Ragan, Jon Andreas Solberg & Hanna Hasselqvist.
