Hope and Healing International Management tackles Project Year
The ball has been set rolling for activities to accelerate in the current Project Year (FY24) for Hope and Healing International funded projects of the Socio Economic Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, SEEPD, program.
SEEPD Program Manager, Awa Jacques Chirac gave the kickoff during an intense work session for management and project officers who met to roll out strategic plans for a successful implementation of project activities throughout the year. The working session held in Douala from July 25-30, 2023.
The SEEPD Program Manager called on participants to surmount the challenges of the last project year in their rigorous planning this year. Development, he said, is not an easy task to achieve. “Let us count it a privilege to be placed in this position to serve humanity. Our motivation is not money but service,” he encouraged.
Mr. Awa told his collaborators that due to the dwindling funding opportunities worldwide, funders tend to look for credible organizations and communities where to put their scarce resources. For this reason, he challenged his team members to work harder in order to continue to merit the confidence of the funders.
The aim of the weeklong meeting was to converge as a team, discuss and establish a common understanding on the project logframes, design the strategic plans and share roles for better achievement and continuous funding.
As the meeting rose, it was clear to the management team and project officers that it cannot be business as usual. Each one is, henceforth, committed to his or her task.
