Shortly after the regional training courses, participants will be expected to conduct national "echo" seminars in their respective countries or demonstration sites. These echo-training opportunities will provide local participants with abridged versions of the regional training courses and will be conducted in the local language, as appropriate. These seminars/workshops are envisaged to last 2 to 3 days and are expected to be conducted within a month of the return of the participants to their countries.

The organisation selected as an Implementing Entity for a given training course will contact, through the PCU,  Host Organisations from the SCS Project Partner Network for the conduct of national "echo" seminars. The Host Organisations selected for each national “echo” seminar will nominate National Seminar Co-ordinators for the conduct of the seminars. The national "echo" seminar co-ordinators will in consultation with the PCU and Implementing Entity:

• identify in-country members of the partner network for participation in the national echo seminars, and
  
• make all logistical arrangements for the conduct of the national echo seminars.
