Wilde Ganzen has proudly concluded a dynamic three-day intensive training program designed to elevate community engagement and foster sustainable change among its partner organisations and community-based groups in the vibrant city of Makeni.
The training attracted a diverse group of participants from various regions across Sierra Leone, creating a rich atmosphere of cross-regional learning and collaboration.
Under the guidance of Esly Van Dam, Project Advisor at Wilde Ganzen, attendees were immersed in a series of interactive sessions that introduced a range of practical tools and innovative strategies to effectively engage communities in their development efforts.
One of the standout moments of the training occurred on the second day when the spotlight turned to the compelling topic of Social Enterprise.
This engaging session, led by the passionate Daniel Bangura, Coordinator of the Sport For Empowerment Foundation Sierra Leone Makeni branch, provided valuable insights into how to create sustainable initiatives that not only empower local communities but also promote financial independence and resilience.
In addition to the core thematic sessions, Daniel Bangura conducted a specialised Excel training geared towards project and finance leaders from six different organisations.
This hands-on workshop was specifically designed to enhance the administrative and financial management skills of local NGOS, equipping participants with essential data management techniques crucial for effective project oversight.
Feedback from attendees reflected a widespread sense of accomplishment and enthusiasm.
Many expressed eagerness to implement their newfound knowledge and tools within their communities, aiming to ignite grassroots-led development and foster lasting positive change.
