Thanks to USAID funding, CARL-SL commences a two-day training for local council and female leaders as part of the BASE project

A two-day training session for newly elected youth councillors and women in political party leadership positions across 6 districts is underway at the Makeni City Council. The training, organized by the Centre for Accountability and Rule of Law as part of the recently launched USAID-funded BASE project, seeks to empower councillors and female leaders with the tools to drive change, improve service delivery and mobilize stakeholders at the lowest unit of governance – wards. Over the next couple of days, the participants will be introduced to theories and benefits of growth mindset, effective service delivery, and stakeholder management. The BASE consortium, which includes IGR, CARL, BAN, 50/50, CARE, and IRN is implementing a 3-year project that seeks to promote citizens’ participation, accountability and improved service delivery in local government. #CARL-SL
