Raising awareness and capacity development of stakeholders and institutions is one of the main activities of the Kabul Green Homes Project in Afghanistan. Following a series of technical training workshops, a 5th and final technical training workshop was organized by Geres and RMO at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul.

The one-day training was held on the 21st of October, 2020.

44 people from 15 organizations (Kabul Municipality, HRDA, WCS, GAALO, AKDN, EEHPA, ASLO, NSIA, Kabul University, GEUC, MoEW, ORCD, AMA, Geres and RMO) actively attended the workshop.

Geres representatives welcomed the participants and explained the objectives and needs behind this training. The workshop touched upon three subjects:

• Climate change, its global and local impact and challenges, projections and tackling climate change
• Energy efficient technical solutions developed by KGHP, its implementing methodology and sustainability
• Group discussions and experience sharing of different stakeholders and organizations

Based on trainees’ feedbacks, the KGHP team noticed that the workshop contents, presentations and discussions really interested the participants. They actively took part in the exchanges and asked questions. Geres and RMO teams made sure to answer all of them and noted their comments and suggestions for further improvements or future projects.

All participants committed themselves to further discuss and share the topics of the training with their organizations and networks.
