Pemba acolhe primeira capacitação para fortalecer as Organizações da Sociedade Civil
A cidade de Pemba, em Cabo Delgado, recebeu esta segunda-feira, pela primeira vez, uma capacitação voltada para o fortalecimento das capacidades das Organizações da Sociedade Civil (OSC’s) e promover a sua participação efectiva nas decisões do Estado para a protecção do meio ambiente. O evento teve lugar na Sala de Reunião da PIRCOM (Plataforma Inter-Religiosa na Comunicação pela Saúde) e contou com a participação de várias organizações locais e nacionais, incluindo AMEC-Rural, JOMAS, AJA, SUHURA HELP, ACRESI, ASSEC, UKHAVIHERA, UAPDSH, entre outras. A capacitação foi organizada pela Associação Moçambicana de Reciclagem (AMOR) e teve como objectivo principal o desenvolvimento de competências nas áreas de gestão organizacional e de gestão de projectos. Durante a formação, os participantes tiveram a oportunidade de partilhar experiências sobre os desafios enfrentados na implementação de projectos, discutindo tanto os casos de sucesso como os de insucesso. A troca de ideias revelou-se enriquecedora, com exemplos práticos de projectos que não atingiram os resultados desejados. O debate focou-se nas principais causas dessas falhas e procurou explorar soluções para garantir que futuras iniciativas sejam mais bem-sucedidas. A AMEC-Rural e a AMOR foram as organizações responsáveis pela facilitação da capacitação, que se revelou bastante proveitosa, dado o elevado nível de participação e o grande interesse demonstrado pelos presentes. Os participantes, que já aguardavam com expectativa esta formação, destacaram a importância de uma gestão mais estratégica e eficiente, especialmente em tempos de desafios e limitações de recursos.
