Organisational Development in ELDS

ELDS participates in the ICCO Capacity Building Programme for the Alliance of Food Security Members (with CARD, CSC, POBS and SOLDEV). It also hosts the ICCO Capacity Building Advisor (CBA), Jouwert van Geene. In June the, had a mid-term review of the progamme for the Alliance Members in Food Security. The review revealed that considerable progress was made but more work has to be done but the two-year programme would need extension if all objectives were to be achieved. ELDS has requested the back donor ICCO to extend the posting of the CBA and the programme with one year until June 2008, which has been approved. The capacity building programme focuses on Programme Development, Organisational Development, Learning & Sharing and Networking and Coordination.
Currently a training workshop is going on in lilongwe. The training is part of the ICCO capacity bulding programme on organisational Development of ELDS. This workshop is looking at some aspects of management that the senior officers are dealing with in their daily work such as leadership styles, work planning, delegation and coordination, coaching and job perfomance appraisal, team roles and team work.
