The three day training titled "Training of Trainers" on Participatory Planning' for Cycle 10 "Enhancing the Capacity of Elected Representatives and Strengthening Citizens' Engagement for Transparent, Responsive, Efficient and Accountable Local Governments" with an objective to build the capacity of Master Trainers from eight implementing partners was held at Rock City Resort - SWAT from 18th ? 20th Jul, 2016. A total of 27 participants from eight organizations [See Annex i for list of organizations] participated in this training.

The purpose of this training was to train participants on the concept of Participatory Planning and Development and its role in the local government system. Training included various topics such as Participatory Development, Participatory Planning, Role of Local Government Representatives and various skills and traits required for effective participatory planning.

The training methodology was interactive as the trainers ensured that knowledge was not only disseminated but accurately perceived and understood by the participants.

These discussions and interactive sessions were supported through training material such as pre and post-test, power point presentations and handouts on participatory planning.
