On 9th till 11th September 2015, LASPNET held a three day residential training for all staff at Esella Country Hotel in Najeera.
The training which was facilitated by Mr.Godfrey Bwanika from Uganda Management Institute was aimed at equipping staff with the latest skills needed to propel the activities of the Secretariat forward and serve members more efficiently and effectively.
Staff were taken through a number concepts and key subjects such as; team building, financial management for non-financial managers, project planning and management as well as resource mobilization. Other subject matters included; research and advocacy, communication and social media plus monitoring and evaluation. This was conducted by a mix of presenters who are experts in those areas.
An action plan with set priorities for each department was developed at the end of the training from which individual staff will be appraised as per the set deadlines.
Mr. Fredrick Walulya, the LASPNET Board General Secretary who represented the Chairperson at the closure of the training called on staff to be driven by desire to realize access to justice for all as their motivating factor.
He commended Mr. Bwanika for facilitating the training. “A combination of all the knowledge acquired here plus the new corporate strategic plan will pull LASPNET to greater heights”, he said in reference to the training.
The General Secretary also urged staff to aim for minimal supervision so as to reduce the work load of the Executive Director.
The training was also a form of orientation for two new staff who had just joined the Secretariat in the positions of Communication and Documentation as well as Research and Advocacy.
It was rounded off with a cocktail attended by some board members, staff and facilitators.
