This is a great opportunity from AWDF for representatives of various organizations to gain valuable resource mobilization skills in an effort to foster financial security and sustainability. Merci
This great opportunity, without this skills many women organisations find difficult in sustaining their activities. What AWDF is doing is very commendable to ensure that the great work they have funded is sustained. It is of course good to provide fish but to teach one how to fish is very great.
