Development Issues Legacy Give a fish or teach to fish Multiskilled DOs vs Specialists Courses- rotation, needs or by request? Multiple short courses vs few long courses Humanitarian Projects -what is the role of an IF? Partnerships

Allocating Courses? Rotation policy? Needs basis? By request? Using databases?

Continental Models Multiskilled Development Officer who does it all [Latin America and Oceania] VS Administration and pay per course [Asia and Europe]

Continental Issues A few long Courses Multiple cities-clubs-venues, multi-skilling, teach to fish vs Many short courses-rotation Hit and run Followup essential Local DOs?

Maximizing the Legacy Multi-skilled Development Officers-Course Conductors educated on what is required during visits in addition to traditional courses Education-World Championships, Continental Championships, Website, Courses Requirements for Certification Teach to fish
