  • Frame a sound Project Implementation Plan ( PIPS)
  • Evaluate and review their project in terms of sustainable processes and outcomes
  • Assist them to focus on a problem for taking action- Set objectives and manage outcomes

After registration, campuses would be given a due log in process to be able to download the manual. Should the campuses desire, they could send in their students for a workshop to be conducted by the Agency.

Campuses are expected to submit a proposal for their planned outreach project to the Agency. The Agency would communicate the last date for submitting the proposal through email to the registered campus.
