Yesterday, I had the privilege of representing TARDO Organization as the Program Manager at the Governance and Sustainability Training for Youth-led CSOs, CBOs, and Local NGOs, held in Baidoa, Bay Region, Somalia, under the DANIDA SPA 2026 LOT DEVโ SOF Project.
The two-day training, supported by DANIDA, Save the Children, GREDO, and MADFO, brought together local civil society organizations to strengthen institutional capacity and promote effective governance.
The sessions covered key topics, including Good Governance Principles, Ethics and Accountability, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Risk Management and Compliance, Stakeholder Engagement, Governance Structures, Sustainability Strategies, and Action Planning.
As Program Manager, I am committed to applying the knowledge and skills gained from this training to strengthen TARDOโs programmes, enhance accountability and transparency, and improve the quality of our humanitarian and development interventions for vulnerable communities across Somalia.
I sincerely thank DANIDA, Save the Children, GREDO, and MADFO for organizing this valuable learning opportunity and for their continued support in strengthening the capacity of local organizations.
Together, we can build stronger institutions, resilient communities, and a more sustainable future.
