In the ever-evolving landscape of nonprofit organizations in Malawi, the importance of knowledge and skills sharing cannot be overstated. This critical strategy for advancing organizational operations recently took center stage during a two-day learning exchange organized by the Segal Family Foundation (SFF) in Lilongwe and Salima Districts in the central region of Malawi. During this insightful learning exchange, Yewo Msiska and Future Chigulu, Ulalo Programs Lead and Monitoring and Evaluation Officer respectively made noteworthy observations and contributions.
The primary goal of the exchange was to create an environment conducive to sharing ideas and experiences in organizational management. A highlight of the visit included Ulalo and other like-minded organizations embarking on a journey to explore the operational intricacies of key entities. These included visits to Global Health Informatics and MHub in Lilongwe, as well as KINDLE Orphan Outreach in Salima. During these visits, participating organizations had the opportunity to present their best practices in project management, fostering a rich exchange of knowledge.
Future Chigulu, the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer at Ulalo, enthusiastically described the event as both inspiring and informative. "The trip was so informative and educative; more of these trips would be needed for the capacity building of the workers in all departments of the organization. At Ulalo, we have learned a lot," said Chigulu, underlining the tangible benefits of such collaborative initiatives.
Yewo Msiska, the Programs Lead for Ulalo, expressed his gratitude to the Segal Family Foundation for their initiative and urged for more events of a similar nature in the future. Such events, he emphasized, play a pivotal role in strengthening organizations and enhancing their ability to make a positive impact in the community.
