Working in UNIDO-united Nations Industrial Development Organisation

I have for the last two years worked with communities while with United Nations industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO).

What I have seen , heard, tested and gone through has been not only a trying but teaching experience. And thsi is when I come up with a conclusion that we need to go back and make sure atleat that the communities can access the basic neccessities of life for instance food, clothing, safe water and Medical care.

I worked in the districts of Eastern Uganda including through not limited to Jinja (center), Iganga, Kamuli, Kaliro and Bugiri. My work was centered to building capacity of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises to make sure they access the right Business information regarding their business operations. This involved Market related, technology related, Finacial related, Events related, Partnership related information.

This was also coupled with Business development consultancy where we could help in peoposal writing, Business planning and market surveys, Returns on Investment, Tax related consultancy and ICT for Development consultancy (web based technology, email marketing , ICT integrated training and e-commerce).

Building groups and taking then through group dynamics was a thrilling experiance. this involved helping then start up what we termed "VSLAs"- Village saving and Loan associations.

Alot can be said about communities in Eastern Uganda but we have laft them to make sure they sustain themselves using the capacity they got from us.

I love this and have detaermined to ever work for communities using the small ability in business development that God gave me. they are very receptive, eager to learn, pragmatic and so open minded, very welcomg that they would compose songs whenever they heard we were to go to that village. Wow what an experiance. Lets go and serve communities.

Hope whoever read this will appreciate and start helping the nearby community using the ability that God gave you.

hope to see you next time I visit your community.
