Introducing CK2C and Team
|
USAID's Capitalizing Knowledge Connecting Communities (CK2C) Program builds on lessons learned and impacts generated by USAID initiatives, in particular, the FRAME program. FRAME was driven by the premise that the development community can work smarter and more strategically if it capitalizes on lessons generated by field-based experiences and strengthens the roles played by Natural Resource Management (NRM) champions in critical decision-making. CK2C continues to strive to meet these goals through the management and development of the FRAMEweb site, conducting stocktaking activities to research and share NRM best practices, and designing a competency-based training program in natural resource management for USAID. The CK2C team is comprised of Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI), Academy for Educational Development (AED), and Training Resources Group (TRG). Get to know the CK2C Team... |
