Staff Capacity Development

At BCRD-Uganda, we believe in capacity building to ensure our community-based organization (CBO) becomes a learning organization. According to Peter Senge (1990) learning organizations are organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning how to learn together. Organizations that will excel in the future will be the organizations that discover how to tap people’s commitment and capacity to learn at all levels in an organization.

One BCRD-Uganda staff member and co-founder, Natwijuka Seth Kayombo will undertake an education program on climate change and biodiversity conservation at the University of Dar es Salaam's Institute of Resource Assessment from 9 July to 3 September, 2010.

The Team Leader, Ms. Joy Samantha Bongyereire is a 2008 AWARD (African Women in Agricultural Research and Development) Fellow, a two-year fellowship to fast track the careers of African women delivering pro-poor research and development. In October 2009, she successfully graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Applied Community Change and Conservation from Future Generations Graduate School,headquartered in West Virginia, United States.

One Field Extension Facilitator, Ms. Harriet Nyiramutuzo successfully completed a BSc (Agriculture) from Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) this year (early July 2010).

We believe we will make BCRD-Uganda a strong CBO, as long as we work hard as a team. Nothing beats hard work and teamwork.
