Time really passes by so fast as five months has already passed when AWCF signed a contract with Fredskorpset-Norway (FK) for the South-South (Asia) Exchange Program entitled “Capacity-Building for Gender and Co-operatives in Asia.” Hence, a 2-day Midterm Review Meeting was held on March 17-18, 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and was attended by nine participants headed by Mr. Sacha Jotisalikorn, FK Representative Asia, and Ms Salome Ganibe, AWCF Executive Director. The meeting focused on updates and assessment of the seven exchange program participants deployed in four AWCF member-organizations namely Center of Agricultural Extension Volunteers (CAEV), Vietnam; Credit Union League of Thailand, Ltd. (CULT), Thailand; Credit Union Promotion Club (CUPC), Malaysia; and National Confederation of Cooperatives (NATCCO), Philippines. The meeting enabled Mr. Dennis Locanas of AWCF/NATCCO, currently assigned at CUPC, to give a short presentation and sharing on his learning and experiences for the past months. Glimpses of the activities of the seven participants were also presented through audio-visual and PowerPoint presentations. On top of these, the meeting enabled the host and sending organizations to share their insights and evaluation on the benefits, issues, and challenges they faced as part of implementing the exchange program. Everyone returned home feeling contented on the result of the midterm meeting while looking forward to the second round of the exchange program.
