In June 2013, a 3 member team from AWDF \u2013 Rose Buabeng, Anglophone Programme Officer; Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, Communications Specialist, Solange Kuadjo, Programme Assistant \u2013 visited 19 grantee partners, and 3 potential grantee partners in 7 Nigerian States<\/a> (Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Ilorin, Nasawara, Ile Ife, Kwara). Chika Oduah<\/a>, a multi-media journalist who took many of the lovely images you will see below, accompanied the AWDF team on this monitoring visit.
\nOne of the advantages of being on monitoring visits is that you get to see directly the impact of the work being done by grantee partners. An unexpected and always pleasant surprise is the positive feedback you get directly when you are doing a good job.<\/p>\n

Below are some of\u00a0 the comments our grantee partners said about the work of the AWDF:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy to see women trying to touch the lives of other women. I am so glad and encourage you to continue. I know what touching lives mean and the effort and resources that goes into i<\/em>t.\u201d
\nMs Ndudi Bowei, Executive Director, The International Center for Environmental Health & Development<\/p>\n

\u201cAWDF is supporting a lot of women on the African continent, I am happy for AWDF and praying that they will get more money to continue funding women\u2019s organizations<\/em>.\u201d

“I thank God for the people who supported AWDF. It is a wonderful women\u2019s organisation. No matter the quality of one’s application and the standard of the organisation, they still have patience for everybody. Please keep it up. I know this project will take FARDEM to a higher level<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith AWDF even if you don\u2019t ask, they know you are there so we don\u2019t need to let them down; we thank them for all the support through the years. They are really a women-focused organization and are always there for women<\/em>\u201d

\u201cThe partnership between GADA and AWDF has boosted the organization\u2019s morale. We have always resorted to AWDF in times of need and they don\u2019t disappoint. The partnership has also helped GADA leverage more funding and other opportunities. I wish GADA and AWDF partnership never ends\u201d

\u201cAWDF has always supported Ajegunle\u2019s women in politics and leadership project. The women here who are now active in politics owe AWDF and those who support them a great gratitude. They are now very vocal and demanding their rights from political party leaders and others in various leadership positions. The International Workshop on Resource Mobilisation has also been very useful to me. Thanks AWDF\u201d
