Why Training and Facilitation is Important
Training and facilitation are essential for building capacity and collaboration between communities and businesses. When communities and businesses are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to work together, they are more likely to achieve their shared goals.
Training and facilitation can help to:
- Increase awareness of development issues and opportunities
- Build trust and understanding between communities and businesses
- Resolve conflicts and promote cooperation
- Develop sustainable solutions that meet the needs of all stakeholders
Our services are tailored to the
specific needs of our clients, but they typically include a combination of the
following:

We offer a variety of training programs on topics such as community engagement,
conflict resolution, leadership, participatory research and sustainable development. Our training
programs are designed to be interactive and participatory, and they are

at creating a safe and supportive environment where people can come
together to discuss difficult issues and find common ground and solutions
Challenges UTU JAMII
is Solving
UTU JAMII's Training and Facilitation Services address a
number of challenges facing communities and businesses in Africa. These
challenges include:
- Lack
of capacity: Many communities and businesses in Africa lack the
skills and knowledge they need to participate effectively in development
projects. This can lead to conflict, misunderstanding, and
missed opportunities.
- Lack
of collaboration: Communities and businesses often have different
interests and priorities. This can make it difficult to work together
to achieve common goals without skilled facilitation.
- Lack
of understanding: Communities and businesses often have different
understandings of development and its potential impacts. This can
lead to miscommunication and conflict
