5. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

To ensure high-quality content contributions, it is important to provide support and resources to participants. This can be done through training programs, workshops, online tutorials, or documentation that helps participants acquire the necessary skills. Additionally, offering technical assistance and troubleshooting guidance can help participants overcome any equipment-related challenges they may encounter. It's important to establish a supportive and inclusive environment where participants feel encouraged to ask for help and receive the necessary support to contribute effectively.

6. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

Engaging participants after a program or event is crucial for maintaining their interest and involvement. Here are a few strategies to consider:

1. Follow-up communication: Send a personalized message expressing gratitude for their participation. Provide a summary of the program or event, highlighting key takeaways and outcomes. Encourage participants to share their feedback, ideas, or any further questions they may have. 2. Feedback and evaluation: Request participants to provide feedback through surveys or evaluations. This demonstrates that their opinions are valued and helps gather insights for future improvements. Actively consider their feedback and communicate any changes or developments based on their input. 3. Continuous learning opportunities: Offer ongoing learning resources such as webinars, articles, or recommended readings related to the program's topic. This allows participants to deepen their knowledge and stay connected with the subject matter. 4. Occasional check-ins: Periodically reach out to participants with updates, relevant resources, or invitations to future events. Keeping them informed and engaged demonstrates that their involvement is valued beyond the initial program or event.

Remember, sustained engagement requires active effort and ongoing communication. By consistently providing value and opportunities for participants to stay connected, you can foster a lasting relationship and encourage their continued contribution and support. 7. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

Mapping marketplaces is an ongoing process as new marketplaces may emerge, and existing ones may evolve or change. Regular updates and collaborations with relevant stakeholders will help keep the marketplace map comprehensive and up to date.
