  4. Proposal - All of the participants will work to match the CCESP timeline and resources with the solution strategy to produce a final project proposal.

  6. Implementation - CCESP team will carry out the activities outlined in solution strategy in cooperation with Bridges to Communities, URACCAN and local organizations.
