When you spend a lot of time planning an event, you get so focused on it that it can be hard to properly visualise what things will look like at the end of it.
So when the sun is shining at a rock festival it's hard to picture how trashed and desolate the field will look when it's all over: when city fathers plan their olympic bid they can imagine the highlights package clearly (and who will provide the soudtrack usually Coldplay or U2) but not always what to do with the creaky monorail, massive debt and athletes village which nobody seems to want to live in 10 years later.
East Africa Cup 2009 is, of course, different. The action is over in Moshi for another year, but for many the training begins: iLearn online courses feature the mentors who provided face to face training at the event, and these are available until December.
This will provide an opportunity for sports journalists to improve their skills in terms of reporting local sport, reporting sport for development and hopefully think of their work outside of just the back pages.
For leaders working at NGOs using sport for development we will continue to help you use the media to get your messages across.
