Dear All,
RE: GOVERNANCE WORKSHOP
ISGM is a USAID program implemented by Pact and MWENGO. The program supports the strengthening of the capacity of Regional African Organizations-Consortia-Associations working in Food Security (FS) and/or Conflict, Mitigation and Response (CPMR) in the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) through promotion of innovation and increased strategic co-ordination. As part of the process towards the achievement of this objective and to fill in the gaps identified through organizational capacity assessments, Pact/MWENGO offer and support training workshops on strategic planning; boards and governance; ideology and identity; food security; conflict prevention, mitigation and response, organizational effectiveness and participatory project development and management.
The Governance Workshop planned for in Hargeysa, will take place during the period 24th February through 28th February 2003 at the Maan-Soor Hotel. The Workshop is targeted at one Board member and one staff member (the Chief Executive Officer) from the respective organizations.
We are therefore writing to request you to send us the names of nominees plus their designations by no later than 13th November 2002 to: [email protected] and c.c. [email protected]
The workshop seeks to strengthen the capacities of CSOs working in food security and peace building in what we refer to as the Southern cluster. The objective of the workshop is thus:
· Develop skills on strategic planning and management
· Develop skills on project development arising from their strategic plans and
· Finally expose participants to ways and means of mobilizing resources to realize their mandates.
· Participants will also share their experiences and learn from one another.
All costs related to the venue, course materials, daily teas and lunches will be funded by Pact/MWENGO. Costs other than these but related to participation at the workshop i.e. airfare, accommodation, visas and land transport should be met by the participating organizations unless agreed otherwise in writing.
Should there be need for further clarification please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Yours sincerely,
William M. Mwasi
Pact, Office Manager
