Why

CATS  is more than just a summit. It is about making visible and valuing the work happening on the ground. That happens through evaluation. These evaluations will be making visible the value of their work, for an extended audience, which may lead to opportunities. There is, of course, also the awarding of prizes. After all their work, the top teams need to be selected to be invited to Nairobi to present their projects.
