It was a full programme with meetings, lectures, and seeing in practice. Each initiative has different approaches for their local challenges. This made the visit a rich experience in which the group learned many new insights and knowledge to tackle their own local challenges.

I never thought that women saving groups could play such an important role in child protection and safety for women, Thanks to IRC we will copy paste and implement their toolkits for saving and loan system.
Susan opok, CEO FAWEU Uganda
I'm so impressed by the impact of the Windle,s girls follow-up system; we would like to implement their use of digital data system to monitor enrolment, attendance and performance girls in schools.
Calvin Opio, education coordinator AVSI, Palabek
I cannot believe how NRC/ RESI is skilling young refugees in such a way that they have increasing income within 3 months, we as AVSI for sure will work on this to implement such a skill program for our young refugees.
