Groupwork instructions

For exercises in groups, divide the participant into groups of 4-5 people with a mix of stakeholders. Assign a note taker and a chair. These should be rotated and the roles equally distributed between men and women. The note taker may write down the discussion on flip chart paper or type in a word or presentation mode.
