As part of the Consortium’s ongoing efforts to strengthen governance and operational efficiency, a policy formulation workshop was held in Siavonga, in the Southern Province of Zambia. This training was a key activity outlined in the Consortium’s roadmap, focusing on the development of essential policies and operational guidelines.

The agenda featured critical topics including sustainability, an overview of ReachAll’s project management system (a member of the consortium), urgent fundraising strategies, and the development of a capacity-building plan. These elements were strategically selected to guide the Consortium’s efforts toward long-term impact and effective organizational management.

A highlight of the training was the Policy Formulation Committee’s focused discussion on three priority policies. Which are the financial Policy, Management policy, and the safeguarding policy. The committee reached a consensus to develop clear policy statements and frameworks for each of these, which will serve as foundational tools to direct policy decisions and define information requirements moving forward.

This training not only reinforced the importance of structured policy development but also ensured that all stakeholders are aligned with a shared vision for sustainability and effectiveness across the Consortium’s programs.
