Draft. Introduction taken from "DESIRE WB4-5 local stakeholder workshop and policymaker interview methodology". Fleskens, Reed and Stringer. December 2010.

A third and final workshop was held with the stakeholders from each of the study sites. This was the first opportunity that many of them had had to engage with the project since they played a part in the identification and selection of strategies and field trials; and was the last opportunity to disseminate the project's results to them face-to-face. It was also an opportunity for the project to evaluate the research findings and to work out how they could be disseminated and collaboratively applied after the end of the project.

The aims of the workshop were as follows.

1. To share and evaluate with the stakeholders the results of both the field trials and the regional scale modelling of their wide-spread use, and also to agree recommendations for agricultural extension and national/district policy that can also be disseminated to a wider audience.
2. To discuss whether the remediation technologies and approaches that gave positive results will be sustained into the future and identify the role of different stakeholders in doing this.
3. To evaluate how the project results can inform future needs and agendas.
