The Best practice and Knowledge fair aims to meet the capacity building requirements of the Programme. The objective of the Fair is to promote networking activities of the GEF-SGP grantees and other civil society organizations to meet the capacity building objective of the programme. This will be achieved by creating ways of networking, sharing and showcasing best practices, innovative technologies and lessons learned by civil society to promote replication and scaling up of results for greater policy influence and transformational change. This together with promoting sustainability and the mobilization of additional resources for community based sustainable development initiatives.
