BROP workshop feedback

Overall evaluation

After the workshop, we collected feedback from 4 CMs via email, they all choose good.

Like & DislikeLike Dislike -Site visiting, I learn more during visiting, find differences among different places.

Tight schedule, the workshop is successful, but include too much content, remind me the training in the university

- Site visiting, we divide into 3 groups to learn different tasks, with the help of local energy station, I knew more about the energy efficient stoves

Sharing Yulong county energy station fundraising experience, cos different place had different situations, their experience is not suit for all the place.

Discussion part Breakfast

-Sharing BROP draft, participants gave a lot of suggestions

How to fundraising. Fundraising is very important, but with the tight timing, there’s no need to spend a lot of time on description, we can talk about it privately.

Achievement

Learned about each campaign’s process, especially BR expert introduce a lot of alternative resource which will help the CMs

Learning technique of energy efficient stove, bio gas and solar water heater

Requirement on preparing BROP

Timing control

Optimize plan combination. A good alternative resource project should design follow the method of combine optimize technique, and economic development.

Suggestions

Combine the repeated content, add more time on participants discussion, it’s not good CMs always play the main role.

Less tight schedule Hope all CMs could join the BROP workshop Discussion time is not enough Add more visiting content, choose another project site. Add some successful case study with discussion

Thanks
