Stage 2 Webinar and Workshop, October 2020 (Archived)

In October 2020, four events were hosted as part of the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) Challenge Fund Stage 2 workshop, for Round 7 applicants that had been successfully invited through to Stage 2.

For the first time, because of the international Covid-19 situation, all events were held online. There were three different types of event, with the interactive M&E workshop sessions being held twice (once in the UK morning and once in the UK afternoon) to account for time differences of applicants.

Joint proceedings from these events, including Q&A are available here.
