In focus of this meeting: WP4 TOOLKIT: collection of practical analytical tools, that is, measurement instruments/inventories e.g., protocols, guidelines, checklists, check-sheets/fact-sheets, rating scales that are invented/designed for helping countries to learn standard processes of HWF Planning. These tools provide support in the identification of process bottlenecks, key components of HWF Planning and the stakeholders to be involved, in addition in formulating appropriate questions, and developing a plan for implementation. Countries can adapt the toolkit to suit their own circumstances.
