Information and training tools  Raising public participation and awareness through information, training and communication tools has been the responsibility of WP1.  The activities described in this report include the development of Africa-specific training material and presentations (D1.1.1 and D1.1.2) for the regional training workshops (D3.2.1).   Three regional training workshops, through which the participants received various levels of training and/or information about FP7, were held.  The first was in Pretoria, South Africa (Southern Africa, 31 attendees) in early 2007, after the work programmes and participation rules for FP7 had been finalised and the first call for proposals had been made.  The second and third workshops were held in Dakar, Senegal (West Africa, 16 attendees) and in Nairobi, Kenya (East Africa, 19 attendees) in late 2007, before the second call.  Lessons learned in the earlier workshop in Pretoria were used to modify the structure and materials highlighted in the Dakar and Nairobi workshops.  Topics covered in the workshops included the EU, FP7 and water-related research opportunities, proposal preparation and consortium building, contracts and finance, support for African reseachers, and other opportunities for funding.    Introduction to EU institutions  Introduction to FP7  Water-related research opportunities in FP7  Proposal preparation (consortium building, proposal writing, proposal submission, etc)  Discussion of African experiences of participating in the Framework Programme  Support for African researchers  Contracts and finance  Marie Curie Programme  Opportunities beyond the Framework Programme  Discussion on institutional strategies for participation  Presentations from all the workshops are available for download from the African Water website.  The content is based on materials used by UKRO in their training programmes of liaison officers from UK research and higher education organisations, modified for an African audience, and on material used in briefing of CEH staff regarding FP7 structure, trends and opportunities.  This report contains the versions of the presentations from the final training workshop in Nairobi, thereby incorporating all the appropriate Africa-specific information and issues that had been raised in the earlier workshops.  All the workshops provided an opportunity for the participants to network amongst themselves and to feedback on the participants’ experiences of EU FP and the changes needed to make the FP more “Africa friendly”.  The Dakar and Nairobi workshops also provided slots for one-to-one discussions with the trainers.  AFRICAN WATER 01/10/2008 2.
