• "Training The Trainers" Node Coordinators Workshop
  Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines (12-16th June 2000)
  As part of the  ACP-EU/ICLARM Project’s  2000 Work Programme, a training workshop for project regional node coordinators from the Caribbean  (Dwight Neal), East Africa (Ali Mohammed), West and Central Africa (Taib Diouf and Birane Samb), Southern Africa (Nico Willemse), and the Pacific (Pierre Labrosse, and Being Yeeting), was convened in Los Baños, from 12th-16th June. The workshop provided the opportunity to update coordinators on project developments including decisions taken at the March Steering Committee Meeting in Brussels, Belgium (regarding a follow-up project and the future of FishBase), allow them to present reports on their activities, prepare node Action Plans for implementation, and allow technical interaction with the ICLARM project team based in Los Baños. Formal  training was provided in Web Page development specific to the project's objectives, remote data entry to FishBase on the Internet (Country and fish Common Name information), an introduction to FishBase 2000 (Beta Version), and also new analytical tools contained in FishBase (life history paramater estimations, length frequency analysis, trophic level estimation) to document the status of fish stocks and recommend alternative management action. Nine members of the ICLARM project team  were involved in formal presentations, related training, and interactions with the regional coordinators.   For further information, please contact Boris Fabres, Network Coordinator at b.fabres@cgiar.org.
