xplore

Many countries which we will visit, also stand on the ' DAC ' list and qualify for the program Xplore. Not in all these countries already projects take place, it is also the question if it is wise to start a project at this moment in for example Iran or Pakistan? Also I doubt if we must maintain these countries in our planning, however there is still time enough to think about it. In India for example already projects appear and it could be an outcome for Xplore if I could visit these projects on behalf of Xplore. They are not able to visit all current projects themselves. It seems me very nice to visit some of these projects of Xplore, because during the conversation about the program I also got terrible enthusiastic about the main points and possibilities of Xplore. During 2006 I will participate in a training for organizations which want to work with Xplore and we will discus my further commitment in 2007. Possibly that I will join the selection commission of Xplore in 2006, and in this way also will be informed about the projects which I will visit in 2007 :-).
