A CSI training workshop was held in Minsk, Belarus on September 3-5, 2009, which was conducted by CSI team member Amy Bartlett. The training was well attended by government, academics, international NGOs and Belarusian civil society representatives, as well as our CSI partners in Russia.  It was a great opportunity to train various participants and launch the project, as well as getting many stakeholders involved in the implementation of the CSI in the country. Thank you to all who participated for your hard work, and we look forward to working with you to implement the CSI in Belarus!
