The Liberia Agency for Community Empowerment (LACE) last week completed the training of five community-based organizations in the southeastern region of Liberia .
The workshop was within the context of preparing community facilitators (CFs) as they embark on mobilizing communities for the implementation of the second Community Empowerment Project (CEP II).
The three-day training brought together fifteen CFs from the five counties in the region: Grand Gedeh, Grand Kru, Maryland, River Gee and Sinoe counties.
A LACE release said they were trained in social mobilization, project and financial managements, procurement, monitoring and evaluation and among others.
The acting Superintendent of Grand Gedeh County Tarley Dweh expressed appreciation to LACE for organizing the training and challenged participants to take advantage in acquiring new skills as they work with their communities.
Mr. Dweh promised the local government's support during the implementation of identified sub-projects for Grand Gedeh County.
He hailed LACE's new approach in collaborating with local government authorities in the identification of projects. Mr. Dweh said these new sub-projects were in line with the County Development Agenda (CDA).
In his opening remarks, LACE Program Manager Mr. Peter Parteh highlighted the gains of LACE over the years and outlined activities planned during the implementation of CEP II.
Mr. Parteh challenged CFs to take the training and their task seriously during the implementation process.
In attendance at the workshop were the Acting Development Superintendent and LRRRC Regional Coordinator Messrs. Charls Zulu and James Wonsiah, among others.
The workshop took place at the LRRRC sub office in Zwedru, Grand Gedeh County from July 14-16, 2008.
