During our trainings with Banjul and KM, participants spoke on how the training impacted their various institutions.”

He stated that the training welcomed members from youth groups, women, differently abled, local authorities, and religious groups, adding that the targeted groups are very important in the country’s developmental process which was why they were chosen to understand more on policies and human rights.

“The training is very important, knowing that good governance and human rights are key issues when it comes to domestic politics and even international politics. As key actors in policies, human rights, and budgets, it is crucial to have such training because it will really reflect on our works,” he said.
