The Listening Project (LP) organized a two-week field effort in Ethiopia in October 2006. CARE International, Catholic Relief Services, CHF International, International Rescue Committee, Mercy Corps, Oxfam America and Save the Children/USA collaborated with CDA in arranging for and carrying out the field visit of the Listening Project in Ethiopia. Each of these agencies provided funds, staff and other in-kind support (hospitality, transport, etc.) to the effort, and CDA sent three facilitators to Ethiopia to work with the agencies. A collaborative learning process such as the Listening Project depends entirely on the involvement and significant contributions of all the participating agencies. Those who were involved in Ethiopia deserve great appreciation for their generous logistical support and the insights and dedication of all the staff who participated.
