At the invitation of Profs. Nathalie Holvoet and Sara Iob Dewachter of Institute of Development Policy – Development Studies, I joined participants from IOB in 
, Mzumbe University 
, and Uganda Christian University 
in a Community Based Monitoring skilling workshop. The 5 week intensive training delves into not only the concepts and theory underpinning CBM and citizen science, but also on Social Network Analysis as a practical data collection and analysis tool/approach.
