GP-NET >>uses Internet to enable interested USAID staff and other >>development practitioners anywhere in the world to engage in a >>conversation about participatory approaches. >> >>The conversation will have a facilitator (or "manager" of the >>list), Wendy Kapustin, who will make subscribing and >>participating "user friendly." More importantly, Wendy will >>encourage the group to focus attention on specific experiences >>and lessons learned about participatory approaches, as well as to >>share useful information and resources for participation. >> >>Short case studies that focus on the use by USAID of a particular >>"participatory practice" and explore results and lessons learned >>about its use will be disseminated for discussion. GP-NET >>participants will be encouraged not only to comment on these >>cases and the issues they raise, but to describe other >>instructive experiences. With your help, some of these, in turn, >>will be fleshed out as Participatory Practices cases. >> >>Please note: GP-NET is not replacing the Participation Network. >>As you know, the Participation Network is a list on our internal >>e-mail directory of USAID staff who wish to receive summaries of >>the Participation Forum sessions and related notices and >>materials. GP-NET, on the other hand, makes use of "listproc" >>software on the Internet, to enable the messages that you send >>automatically to be received by all other GP-NET subscribers. >>Another important difference is that GP-NET includes development >>practitioners from outside USAID: other donors, PVOs, >>universities and--with your help--host country NGOs and other >>institutions. Like the Participation Network and the >>Participation Forum, GP-NET is an effort of USAID's Participation >>Initiative. >> >>If you would like to subscribe to GP-NET, or if you have >>questions about it, please contact Wendy Kapustin via e-mail (or >>at: WKAPUSTIN@USAID.GOV). To subscribe you, she will need to >>know your Internet address. > > > ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** /\ ** ** > ** Michael Cote' Tel.
