Ask any of the Acacia Learning Forum participants and they will be sure to tell you that the Forum was not a four-day timeout where nothing more was required of delegates to sit passively and take in a lot of information. This event was about participation, contribution and action! And day four's tutorial sessions mirrored the hands-on nature of the event, providing participants with valuable, practical guidance and at the same time encouraging them to share their own stories, ideas and practices.
The three tutorials have been condensed into 'toolkits' which provide an overview of the key lessons highlighted during each workshop as well as links to the tutorial presentations. Both tutorials and toolkits have been designed to provide participants with information that will assist with practical implementation within the three focus areas. Please pass this valuable information on to your colleagues.
These pages can be edited by forum members so please feel free to share any additional information, notes, case studies or resources. Tutorials can be accessed here:
Tutorial Option 1 entitled Strengthening theory and methodology for ICT4D research

Tutorial Option 2 entitled Communicating research results for influencing policy and practice

Group photo of Acacia Learning Forum Participants
On the final day of the conference, the Acacia Learning Forum participants posed for a group picture to mark the conclusion of what has been billed as an enormously successful event. Amid much good humour, TACP took a picture that we hope captures the enthusiasm and optimism that was displayed by participants throughout the duration of the Forum. You can view the picture here: http:/
Video interviews of Forum presenters
A number of the key Forum presenters were interviewed by TACP and these video shorts will be embedded onto the Forum homepage within the next few days. In the meantime, you can access the videos on YouTube at the following urls:

Final video wrap ... in English and French!
Look out for the final summary video which will provide both a backdrop for the Forum and a brief narrative of the four-day event. The video will be available on YouTube early next week. The good news is that this video will also be sub-titled in French and uploaded to DotSubfor the benefit of Acacia Francophone members. We'll provide you with the relevant urls within the next few days.
