All round Capacity Development - People, Organization and CommunityWorking hand-in-hand with Human Resource Officer to identify staff capacity development needs, drafting of training programs, consultants' ToRs, reviewing of material and quality control of training programs offered both internally and by external facilitators.Promotion of HAP Benchmark No. 6 - Learning and Continual Improvement, so that the organization learns and documents important lessons that can either be replicated elsewhere or avoided as the case might be. This also has to do with studying what published reports on what other organizations elsewhere have gone through and applying their lessons for the improvement of community projects.Preparation of uprooted populations (Refugees, IDPs and stateless persons) for return to their original homes, resettlement or integration into local communities. This typically involves taking cognizance of the fact that even among the uprooted population there are people with skills and knowledge, others have deep interest in studying and acquiring qualifications that would make them more employable or empower them to create wealth and jobs.As part of the Project Management Team, I enjoy proposal development and report-writing, perhaps because I enjoy expressing my thoughts in writing.
