Wau, 19 April, 2021 / 7:30 pm (ACI Africa).
A Germany Catholic charity has facilitated a weeklong training of project and finance employees of South Sudan’s Wau Diocese in financial management that was organized to equip the staff with proper techniques of proposal and report writing in their respective departments.
Misereor, the German Catholic Bishops' entity for development cooperation, has facilitated the capacity building of over a dozen accountants and project managers in Wau Diocese, an initiative aimed at bridging the knowledge gap seen in projects in the South Sudanese episcopal see, Br. Sylvester Awash who coordinated the training told ACI Africa.
“We presented our proposal to our donor Misereor Germany, to build the capacity of our staff and fortunately, they approved it. We are carrying out the training on project proposals and financial reporting for accountants and managers in the diocese,” Br. Awash said April 16 at the close of the training.
Previously, partners used to facilitate capacity building initiatives away from Wau town, the member of St. Joseph Brothers of Wau Diocese (SJB) said, adding that due to COVID-19 restriction of inter-state movements, the staff could not travel out of the headquarters of the Diocese.
“This training is of great benefit because we usually used to send one person for the training but this particular one has become an opportunity for those who could have not gotten the chance,” the South Sudanese Brother told ACI Africa.
