Pamoja Trust identified the need for a structured process of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of Refugee Led Organizations to achieve their purpose and provide quality services by strengthening their organizational and technical capacities. This was done through a series of capacity strengthening sessions that engaged 28 RLOS and 121 participants and focused on Leadership and structure, finance and administrative systems, Effective Participation, communication and visibility, Collaboration and networking, Safeguarding and Sustainability, Proposal writing and development of business plans as well as Dispute Resolution.
Pamoja trust is glad to have walked with the Refugee Led Organizations through the journey that saw some of them access funding opportunities, engage stakeholders including the county governments and also train other budding RLOs, the case of OAK solution that was called upon by Pamoja trust to train new 13 RLOS from Nairobi and its metropolitans. The engagements have been positively progressing as individual RLOs reach to Pamoja trust for customized support especially in drafting proposals for calls, developing institutional policies and even engaging with various county government service provision sectors like the scenario of Ubuntu RLO that has since contacted Pamoja trust in efforts to leveraging Pamoja trusts county networks to gunner support of local vocational training colleges in certifying refugee youths that have been trained by the RLO
