This ECHO Forum is geared toward enabling networking related to alleviating hunger and poverty by those persons serving Africa's poor. Three mornings of plenary sessions featuring knowledgeable and experienced speakers will be followed by afternoon workshops and discussion groups led by regional agricultural development workers and experts.
ECHO forums are considered networking opportunities. This means that you, the delegates, are the most important resources. Please do not be shy about suggesting topics for a practical presentation during the afternoon sessions. At ECHO conferences in other locations around the world, some delegates have discussed a project that has worked well, a good idea and why it failed, a promising plant how they integrate agricultural work with church activities etc. If you are interested in offering afternoon workshop (45min) please contact Mr Olabode Olanrewaju at olabodeolan@gmail.com. Evenings will be reserved for individual networking opportunity. There will be extensive opportunities for networking with fellow forum participants and resource persons.
