In the first of a series of capacity development workshops, GDS has partnered in northern Ghana with RAINS, the Regional Advisory Information and Network Systems, to improve community livelihood and resilience through strengthening planning skills including risks associated with field-based development projects, and the design of measurable mitigation strategies.
Formed in 1993, RAINS has a long history of work to improve the lives of deprived communities. In conjunction with communities, government agencies and civil society groups, the organization pioneered interactions in advancing girl child education, tackling child labor, and the empowerment of women and girls.
GDS is also experimenting with an Applied Knowledge and Intervention Network (AKIN) that will grow along with partner NGOs to enable knowledge sharing on tools and techniques in strategic project management, program implementation, impact assessment, and project communication.
The risk analysis workshop series is the first under the project management section of the workshop series and learning sessions that GDS has organized. The new program began in February 2023 with RAINS (Ghana) and the Africa Relief Response and Development Organization–ARRDO (Gambia).
