Hi, this is Wubit from Ethiopia again! I attended a 2-day training on January 5 and 6, 2009 prepared by TAYA (Talent Youth Association), a partner of Advocates for Youth. In case you don’t know, both organizations support a national youth leadership council that I am apart of in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Our council is called Ethiopian Youth Council for Higher Opportunities, also known as ECHO. We mobilize youth, work with the media, and lobby politicians to address priority reproductive and sexual health issues in Ethiopia and improve policies that reflect those priorities. Ephrem Berhanu, our council coordinator, facilitated a training for my fellow council members and I to learn about project management and much more!
During the two days, the council trained on:
1. Project management and planning in fiscal year cycles;
2. Evaluation of our goals, objectives, and activities accomplished so far; and,
3. Plans for our council to coordinate in the next fiscal year to work with Advocates for Youth.
What did council members think of the training?
Well, here are some quotes from members of the council:
• “My name is Helina Abate. I am one of the ECHO members by this training I know more about project cycle and planning soo after this I can do project.”
• “My name is Fuad Mohammed. You know, before this training I didn’t understand how to manage a project and program. I was confused on these terms, but now I have improved my knowledge. Thank you for TAYA.”
• “My name is Sebsebs. I learned so much from these 2 days. I learned 90% more than I did before about project management. Thank you.”
We are developing 3 new ideas for next one year, where we will work with Advocates for Youth.
I will explain this in details for my next blog!
