The document discusses a proposed online platform called "Solutions that Cross Borders" to share solutions for development between Kenyan communities. The platform would allow NGOs and CBOs to contribute solutions and development practices, and provide public access and forums for discussion. It would help address the deficiency in sharing solutions and lack of capacity among these organizations. A budget of €6518 is provided to establish the platform, which would help promote solutions reporting beyond the mainstream media. Similar initiatives in other countries are also mentioned.

- Personal MotivationI’m a writer who believes in the power of the written wordMention your goals Creating a multimedia –rich web platform through which community-made solutions which have already been successfully implemented and are replicable in other communities can be disseminated widely. Target audience will be the development workers in the CBO’s and NGO’s and individuals who will be interested in finding innovative solutions to problems in their project areasThe solutions will come from the CBO’s and NGO’s whose incentive will be to have story told professionally and be portrayed as a best practiceTo ensure high quality content, once worthy solutions have been identified, professional reporters will be sent to the field to report on these solutions.Q&A service where development workers ask questions and their peers respond.
