Results from focus group discussion
Five participants of the IRC 2010 Pumps, Pipes and Promises symposium were so kind to join in a focus group discussion prior to the symposium to get perceptions and views on IRC products and Source newsletters. It was an interesting mix of one coming from WSP HQ, one from a private company, one from a university, one from a local NGO in India, and one from an international NGO in Timor Leste.
They all allowed us to publish the outcome of the focus group discussion on our monitor page, for which we are grateful.
