10 representatives / 5 organizations

Sep 22–25, 2026 training

Tuinuke Pamoja, Tetea ASBL, Msaada Sharing, ECOD Grands-Lacs, and Youth Ambassadors for Climate Justice — 10 representatives, not 10 organizations.

What the training covered

Our September 2026 training covered inter-organizational collaboration, institutional sustainability, communications and reputation, and understanding community priorities. Participants began developing community proposals during the training, which they’re continuing to build out.
