focus, build the capacity of either the team members or the benefiting community, and have a sustainable and measurable impact. The VTT must be sponsored by Rotary clubs or Districts from two countries, the grant may support the travel of more than one team

LESSONS LEARNT

2013 RI CONVENTION

• Most VTTs one way and linked with projects

• Finding partnerships will be challenging

• Costs of activity will rise resulting in greater take-up of Global Grants

• Districts with more DDF will stage VTTs much the same way they did GSE
