Someone

somewhere has
found a solution

The PACE project was started to help organisations in

one part of Africa get the benefits from the ideas and
experiences of people working in other parts. By
sharing ideas we dont have to start from zero, we
can learn from other peoples experiences and share
our own findings with them, so everyone benefits.
The film were watching today has been shared with
people in 22 countries.
