KEYCDA urged to be self-reliant

Mr Ebrima Sanyang, co-ordinator of Kaira Nyining CCF program area in Kombo east, has called on the youths not to rely on Kaira Nyining as their only funding partner.

Delivering a topic on project proposal writing and funding, at a two day capacity building workshop on resource mobilisation and management for KEYCDA executive members, held at Kuloro, recently, Mr Sanyang called on the youths  to diversify their activities in implementing their programs. He further urged them to develop good morals and vision, saying that  many projects in The Gambia failed due to lack of substantial vision. He challenged them to embrace their responsibilities, warning that they must not do things just for formality sake.

 Mr sanyang also waxes on project financial planning, sustainable plan designing, project implementation and monitoring and project completion, among other topics.

The two-day workshop aimed at enhancing the capacity of young people to mobilise and raise their own funds for sustainability. It was also geared towards enabling the young people to develop their own project proposals for funding.

Speaking earlier on, Mr Lamin Darboe, co-ordinator of KEYCDA, urged the youths to work hard towards the attainment of their aims and objectives. He noted that the workshop would enable them to carry out their responsibilities in the service of the district as well as to capacities them on raising their own funds.

Lamin Bojang, secretary of Kombo East District sports association, challenged the youth to transform the information gained from the workshop into actions.

Other speakers included Lamin J Gassama, chairperson of Western Region youth committee, and Abdoulie Badjie from the National Association of Co-operative Credit Union of Gambia (NACCUG).
