It was a great learning experience for all involved from partners to participants on Ovalau. I left DSAP and SPC earlier this year, so I am only learning about this now.<BR/>I was wondering if there was any information or examples of how the various communities on Ovalau who were involved in the exercise have used the outputs to help them further their own development initiatives or that of the island as a hole? I understand that the exercise was also part of the planning process for application for UNESCO world heritage status, has there been anything further?<BR/><BR/>What about the plans for similar exercises elsewhere in the Pacific region, are there any developments here?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Good to catch up again.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>Danny HunterDanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939422199397337672noreply@blogger.com
