Our recent training in the heart of Bishoftu, Ethiopia, wasn't just an average training - it was a journey that went beyond SECAP standards. Picture dynamic project-based Group Work, lively Community of Practice (CoP) discussions, and strategic planning that delved deep into Grievance Redress and stakeholder engagement, with a special focus on the power-interest Grid.

As the training reached its culmination, participants immersed themselves in the rich Ethiopian coffee culture during "Buna time" and wrapped up the training session with certificate awards and shared joy of completion. The highlights? Participants stressed the urgency of climate integration in ESIA, advocating for specific thresholds in Resettlement plans, and applauding SECAP's ground-breaking approach. The exceptional venue, commitment to gender inclusion, and unwavering support from our dynamic CoP were all duly acknowledged.

Eagerly anticipating the application of these insights to propel sustainable practices forward! 🌍💡

🌍 Last week, the PADMAR project took a significant stride towards sustainable development with the SUSTAIN training in Benin. The team gathered to tackle standards' challenges and opportunities.

🤝 Beyond fears and concerns, participants recognized that implementing SECAP standards is no longer limited to experts—it's a collective effort involving all stakeholders. Integrating grievance response into conflict management practices is a shared responsibility.

🚜 During a field visit, they experienced the reality of their work— witnessing communal cooperatives of producers, particularly empowered female producers, and buyers harvesting negotiated productions highlighted the tangible professionalization underway.

🤝 "WE ARE TOGETHER" - echoing the West African adage, the participants commit to unity throughout IFAD's project cycle. As a community of practice, they pledge to collaborate, sharing roles and responsibilities for effective standards application. The meeting concluded with a powerful call from the Project Manager: "Together, let's go further!" 🚀

SUSTAIN is on a roll with two ongoing trainings! 🌐🌱

As we embark on the second day of SECAP training in Ethiopia, and the first day in Benin, for their respective IFAD projects, we reflect on the recent success in Siem Reap, Cambodia. In collaboration with the Laos project team, the training showcased a strong commitment to climate action in the region.

IFAD Cambodia Country Director provided invaluable insights, complemented by the essential contributions of procurement, SECAP responsible persons, and climate experts. They led engaging discussions on climate tools and risk assessment, emphasizing the meticulous application of SECAP principles. Stakeholder engagement took center stage, featuring insights on Grievance Redress Mechanism. Key takeaways included the significance of a deeper understanding of mitigation and adaptation in agriculture, budgeting for Grievance Redress Mechanism, and the necessity of clear exit strategies. The training period concluded with positive feedback, marking the success of an interactive session.

Eagerly anticipating the next steps in our collective journey towards the implementation of SECAP! 🌐🌱

The experience was nothing short of an adventure. From the get-go, participants were captivated by the dynamic sessions and diverse facilitation methods. 🎉

What made it truly special? The enriching content, the possibility for trainers to directly test the teaching material, and the feeling of community - which will continue through the Community of Practice. All attendees unanimously agreed - this T o T was a genuine exchange of knowledge, equipping them with enhanced teaching techniques to empower Project Management Units (PMUs) in applying ! 🌟
