Fostering Collaboration Through Capacity Building
On June 21st, the Observatoire Congolais des Droits de l’Homme (OCDH) launched a pivotal capacity-building workshop in Brazzaville. Drawing in fifty association members from various localities, including the Likouala department, the workshop is centered on refining networking strategies within civil societies.
Unpacking the Workshop’s Core Objectives
As stressed by the OCDH’s Executive Director, Nina Cynthia Kiyindou Yombo, the workshop places a significant emphasis on demystifying the concepts of networking and advocacy. These themes, while recognizable to many participants, often lack clarity in practical application. The workshop aims to furnish participants with a robust understanding of these critical components.
Addressing Local Challenges Through Dialogue
A key element of the workshop involves addressing the unique challenges faced by associations in their respective localities. This collaborative approach not only facilitates the identification of pivotal issues but also fosters the development of tailored strategies to navigate these challenges effectively.
Strengthening Partnerships: A Global Perspective
The presence of the French NGO ‘Agir ensemble pour les droits’ at the workshop introduces an international perspective on capacity enhancement. Léana Brielles, the project manager, highlighted the NGO’s commitment to supporting local structures in project implementation, thus enriching the workshop’s discourse with insights on global partnership dynamics.
Interactive Engagement: A Platform for Shared Learning
Interactive discussions, facilitated through a series of question-and-answer sessions, constitute the core of the workshop. This interactive framework not only fosters participant engagement but also ensures that the thematic areas discussed are thoroughly explored and understood, thereby empowering attendees with enhanced networking capabilities.
