This project was initially designed for 7 workshops (4 funded by Department of Environment and 3 by SGP) to provide training for 100 NGO members and equipment for networking. Based on the feedback from the first 3 workshops (funded from the co-funding by Department of Environment, DOE) on the Basics of Participatory Approaches it was decided to expand the project to cover different aspects in Participatory Management, Project Formulation as well as Monitoring and Evaluation in a systematic way. Hence all parties funding the project increased the scope and budget to provide a systematic training to NGO members introduced by the regional networks. Therefore, the remaining 4 workshops were integrated into 3 series of workshops each 12 to 19 days (total 13 workshops) facilitated by 3 different facilitators to continue with training in Participatory Approaches, Project Formulation, Participatory techniques and Monitoring & Evaluation. All these workshops were held in Tehran, the North and Zagros Regions which concluded with one Follow-up Gathering for project evaluation that was funded by the DOE. At the end of the project the workshops produced educational packages on the mentioned topics as well as the edited films of the workshops that are accessible for other NGOs through the Regional Networks. In addition to the workshops, seven regional environmental networks were equipped for networking purposes.
