Integrating knowledge from fellowship
Martin believes that his participation in the Fellowship program will enhance his capacity with new knowledge, skills and technical know-how coupled with the network and opportunities.
“Therefore, the relevant experience acquired will strengthen my capacity to properly coordinate, manage and direct activities and projects initiated in communities of my work. I will ensure that I can train the staff at the community and organizational level to embrace new approaches and skills in their line of community work.”
Proposed plans going forward
“Per the strategic plans on, my work plan for next three years is to strengthen the capacity of Community Aid Integrated Ghana as an organization. CAI is a facilitating organization working with communities in the rural enterprise development area, therefore with the opportunity to undergo this unique project I will replicate my experiences to strengthen and enhance the organization’s efforts.
