Trainers Equiped with Work Ethics Skills

Developing Lives, livelihood and Nutrition Uganda kicked off their Training-of-Trainers (ToT) Programme on “Work Ethics” with a one day Workshop that took place on Friday 12th July 2023, at their head office in Bukolobe, Kamuli Municipality.

The purpose of this training is to introduce and facilitate staff understanding of the Partnership Policy on Conflict of Interest, and to raise awareness, consciousness on how to conduct the affairs of World Vision in an ethical manner.  The aim is to help staff identify, disclose and resolve any potential conflict of interest for World Vision.  

This training is the first step of the important employees revamping and improvement Programme. The training was facilitated by the DLLN-Uganda Administrator Walya Peter who emphasized the employees to uphold the organization core values if they are to achieve the organizational intended goals.

“My hope for this first cohort of trainees is to use what they have learned and what they will learn in their daily job. It would be great if they uphold the DLLN-Uganda core values, manage to solve conflict in ways they did not think of before, prevent escalation, and share this knowledge as trainers or facilitators. We know that pressure and challenges are increasing in the different training centres, which has compelled us to train our teaching staff”, said DLLN’s Administrator Mr. Walya Peter.  

The purpose of this training is to introduce and facilitate staff understanding of the DLLN-Uganda Core Values, Code of conduct, conflict Management at work, and to raise awareness, consciousness on how to conduct the affairs of DLLN-Uganda in an ethical manner.  The aim is to help staff identify, disclose and resolve any potential conflict of interest.  

Tweleve (12) Participants (3 trainers from each training Centre) from the four DLLN-Uganda Training centres across Busoga Region, namely Kisozi (Buzaya), Kitayunjwa (Bugabula), Gwase (Budiope) and Kidera (Budiope) gathered to attend the workshop.

Among the beneficiaries of this ToT programme, Ms. Margret Kisakye, Assistant Project coordinator-Skilling Project, said that Conflict Management plays a crucial role in her position: “Given the nature of people they train in the various skilling centres with 99% being young girls, conflicts are prevalent and have significant implications for our communities. Effectively managing these conflicts is essential to ensure Stability, Social Cohesion, and progress in the Centres we serve.” She added that this first ToT workshop was an “invaluable experience that provided insights into the mindset required to be an effective trainer. The case study exercises were particularly helpful, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. The process of the training itself, including interactive sessions, group discussions, and role-playing, fostered a dynamic learning environment”. 

As this training journey began, DLLN-Uganda placed its trust in the commitment and dedication of the trainees to effectively use the knowledge acquired in their Training Centres
