IOGT - NTO Movement
Sweeden is hosting the Annual Partner Meeting (APM) for all Great Lakes Partners in Kenya, Tanzania,
Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda. The APM
started on 18th -21st June, 2018 at Landmark Mbezi Beach
Resort in Dar es Salaam.
The meeting is an
excellent opportunity to meet likeminded organizations from around the East
African region and to gain new insights on the issues that we all work with on
a daily basis. The focus on this year’s meeting will be the next four years
programme as well as the national and local legislation processes going on in
East Africa.
All partners were
required to prepare a short summary/description on methods/best practices that
have been successful during 2017. Network partners also required to prepare a
status- and progress report on alcohol policy and legislation process including
strengths and weaknesses of the network. CBA-partners working with by-laws
prepare a summary/short description explaining procedures how by-laws are
endorsed and implemented. Also, all partners required to bring to the workshop
IEC-materials giving visibility of the IOGT-projects.
2018 APM has its unique mode of operating
whereby each organization shall work in a collaboration with different partners
where partners are grouped thematically in some of the sessions such as Children/Youth;
Community Based Approach; Networks and
Girl Guides.
