Approach and implementation
A process plan was constituted to ensure the development of the projects. The plan provided guidance and was based on MUCF´s ”Collaboration model for public actors and civil society”. The model helped to highlight gaps and shortcomings which guided the work of the projects. Dialogue meetings between the projects were held monthly. General meetings for a wider target group were held on two occasions. Project reviews were conducted on two occasions to ensure the progress of the project.
