In my conclusions and recommendations in the presentation related to the establishment of FIPAG training acdemy in Mozambique (Webinar of Track 4 on Thursday 28 May at 14:00 hours), I define five bullets which I beleive are the pillars of sucesfull capacity development in North-South and South-South collaborations:1.It will work only if the local partner really believes in it. (OWNERSHIP)2.Instable systems survive on the shoulders of champions. (LEADERSHIP)3.Regional collaboration and support is very important. (PARTNERSHIP)4.The atmosphere of mutual trust is the foundation of every success. (FRIENDSHIP)5.Life does not stop. What next? (ENTREPRENEURSHIP)Would you agree?Are we all in the same ship?
