In June 2010, BCRD-Uganda entered into partnership with VAADHS (Virunga Allied Actors for a Dynamic and Healthy Society), a dynamic CBO in Kisoro District whose patron is at the same time the District Health Educator. The two dynamic CBOs pledged to work together for robust community development in Kisoro District. Since we posses different skills, we felt that by combining efforts, we can harness our resident capacities and work together in proposal development and projects’ implementation in Kisoro District and elsewhere in the Albertine Rift. We view this as a cost-effective way of synergizing one another. We are convinced that we can utilize the resident capacities and skills existent within our CBOs to cause just and lasting social change and sustainable development. By doing this, we are in line with the Millennium Development Goal No.8 - Develop a global partnership for development.
A number of partnership proposals have been developed by the BCRD-Uganda Team Leader who graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Applied Community Change and Conservation from Future Generations Graduate School, WV USA (www.future.org) in October, 2007, and the VAADHS Patron, Mr. Abel Bizimana who possesses a Master of Science degree in Health Services Management from Uganda Martyrs University (UMU), Nkozi-Uganda. We will update all our esteemed readers of our blog on new developments regarding the fruition of our partnership efforts.
