Learning is important for all other ICZM topics.

It is important to ensure the updating of knowledge and skills within the organization and to anchor what is learned. You can gain updated knowledge from various sources. It is wise to once in a while train the staff so they understand the latest developments and have the needed knowledge and skills. Universities can provide training and information (in Central Java this is UNDIP) and knowledge can be hired. Also, UNDIP will be involved to see how they can facilitate Central Java Province with training and knowledge.

What went well and should be integrated into new projects as well, what went wrong and should be avoided next time.
