Meeting in Nigeria
Kano, Nigeria —
Visionary
Leadership Programme (VLP) review
meeting was held in Kano, Nigeria
on 18th May 2006. Mr. Harry Jooseery,
Executive Director of PPD, Mr. James
Biswas, VLP Project Coordinator and
Dr. Aloys IIinigumugabo, Deputy Director
of CAFS met Hajiya Mairo Bello, the
Executive Director of Adolescent Health
and Information Projects (AHIP), an
anchor Institute of VLP at the AHIP's
office in Kano, Nigeria. Ms. Bello
has briefed about the programme activities
of VLP presently in place and also
about the AHIP activities. In the
meeting they discussed about the sustainability
of VLP activities through AHIP. AHIP
expressed willingness for adopting
VLP training manuals applicable to
the grassroots leaders and run it
through AHIP’s regular training
programme. Decision was made that
CAFS will offer consultancy along
with local consultants of Nigeria
for adaptation of the manuals. It
is expected that the adaptation will
be completed by June 2006. A three-day
workshop to this end is planned from
4-6 June 2006 with the consultants
and key local AHIP staff at Khaduna,
Nigeria.
On
the next day (19th May 2006) nine
VLP fellows from Network Groups came
in for a network group meeting facilitated
by Dr. IIinigumugabo. The fellows
presented their group activity reports,
challenges and way forward. Dr. Aloys,
in brief, shared what is expected
of the network groups and how they
should move ahead. The participatory
discussions were appreciated by the
Networks groups’ members and
this has renewed their commitment
and strengthened their future thoughts.
The
Group members were also informed that
an Evaluation will be commissioned
by the Consortium and they will be
contacted for their inputs about VLP
and their performance. The groups
committed to be available for the
Evaluation activities.
