Leader’s Capacity Building The UNESCO Chair’s mission is to harmonize and bridge the gap between Universities and Communities. In harmony, Universities and Communities work together in promoting sustainable development. In this light, the Elimika Project has been working with local leaders on the subject of peace and security, fundamental human rights and freedoms. The project held two capacity building sessions with the local chiefs, ministry of water officials and a village bank’s board of directors & staff in Mbooni West Sub County in the month of February.

The two day event, included conducting group training for two of the participating groups: Engong’ ee Rombo and New Jerusalem Women Groups, Training of Trainers (ToT) and Artisans (for water tank construction).
The Trainers will be expected to pass on the knowledge acquired to other members of the groups while the Artisans will construct the water tanks using the skills and technology as instructed during the training.
During the visit the team also visited two potential sites which were selected for construction of model underground water tanks.
