Around 25 national / regional intiatives are taking part in the WOCAT network. Participation in WOCAT at the country or regional level is referred to as a national / regional initiative; in some cases, participants might give themselves individualized names (such as ETHIOCAT in Ethiopia or BANCAT in Bangladesh). These operate in an autonomous, decentralized and self-funded way. Training workshops, for example, are organized and funded by the requesting institution; only resource person(s) can be paid by the global management. Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) can be developed between the global and national /regional levels in order to help clarify their respective roles.

The latest activities of the national / regional activities are available under initiatives and/ or can be read in the latest workshop proceedings.
