InWEnt in collaboration with FOSSFA is organizing four Trainings of Trainers (ToT) in
four different Eastern and Southern Africa countries. Held between July and October 2009,
each of these trainings will consist of a presential full-time phase of two weeks, and be
accompanied by 4-6 weeks of part-time online training.

These trainings are offered at no cost beyond a minimal registration fee. Applicants will
usually have to bear their own travel costs. Board and accommodation will be paid for by
