Clearinghouse for training activities related to nature conservation. Proposed activities would be communitcated as early as possible to the chair who would look for overlaps/synergies and then communicate the training information to committee members/others as decided by management.
Work together to assess needs identified by NBSAPs and National Self-Assessment and how they are being met and key gaps and communicate those gaps to funders, and BINGOs.
Discuss ways to maximise capacity building support (long-term postfraduate fellowships and short term training courses).
