As part of the planning for AC3, WACREN discovered the need for its NRENs to have capacity building training, especially in the area of developing strategic and business plans, advocacy and lobbying techniques. Under AC3, is expected to organise these trainings every two years.
The first edition was held as webinars (split into two sessions) in 2020, because of the COVID pandemic and its associated challenges. The focus was on building the capacity of NREN administrators on developing business models.
