It is designed with two main functions. First, to walk users through the phases of a CFL program, explaining each step and directing users to more detailed information that can be used to take action on each step. Second, it is intended to be a knowledge center where users can find case studies, technical specifications, templates and links. Below is a list of all the components of the site, next we will describe each element in detail.

Navigation Tools There are 3 separate ways to navigate the CFL Experience Toolkit. 1. Left-side navigation The left-side navigation expands and Contracts, showing the basic elements of each toolkit.

When an icon is selected a summary box pops up, to get in depth information about the case, click on More. Case Studies Case Study Information

Knowledge Center The Knowledge Center is the central part of the CFL Toolkit Experience. You will find technical information about program design, financing and implementation. In addition there are templates and example documents from CFL program case studies. Above are the components that make up the Knowledge Center. To explore the Knowledge Center further, go to the CFL Toolkit Experience.
