Some partners of the Change Alliance and PSO foundation (ICCO, Hivos, Cordaid, SNV, and CDI) organised an expert meeting, which was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 1 to 3 december 2010. The aim of this expert meeting was to bring together experienced process facilitators in Africa, to synthesise their experiences on and methods for Multi-Stakeholder Process (MSP) facilitation and to draw lessons from it. Furthermore the meeting aimed to build a network of facilitators, which will enable facilitators and organisations working with MSPs to continue capacity building and knowledge sharing in the future.
