This indicator assesses the quality and implied relevance of the trainings that are delivered to project beneficiaries, CBF staff and NCTFs’ staff. It links sustainable natural resource management to economic growth, capacity building and other social development goals for CORE-funded projects. When both genders are actively involved, sufficiently empowered and receive benefits from natural resource management or conservation, they are more likely to value and support these activities in the future, well after the project ends, creating a sustainable impact in their countries. Trainings are defined as formal education, specialized programs, on-the-job learning or practice aimed at enhancing proficiency in a virtual or in-person setting. Workshops are defined as group sessions or meetings where a small number of people engage in collaborative learning. Problem-solving, skill-building activities in a particular subject of field, delivered in a virtual or in-person setting. These sessions are usually designed to be more participatory and dynamic than traditional lectures or presentations. If beneficiaries are working directly with grantee organizations or their own businesses, and project managers can observe beneficiaries using the skills learned in trainings/workshops, then the survey doesn’t have to be administered and progress toward this indicator logged (with an explanation in the narrative of the skills being used). Higher = better
