WorldOpp designation
Kindly understand that in Kenya there are specific policy guidelines on how projects are run and this must be adhered to for purposes of avoiding conflict with the Kenya Government. In view of the above we opt to share with you our event layout for success as follows: a). Develop a website for WORLDOPP FOR VULNERABLE- KENYA CHAPTER. The website will comprise of the following (Home page, programs) b). Entry point into Kenya. This will be either through an existing organization or church to avoid a lot of legal processes that might take too long to achieve the planned interventions. c). Starting point. At this level we propose to establish WorldOpp office with professional staff who will work hard to reach out to the community with WorldOpp mission, vision, objectives and program. We wish to start the project in a specific county in Kenya for project piloting after which the project will be rolled out to other counties to reach many vulnerable groups of people. In view of the above, we propose to start a pilot project in Kisii County which is one of the forty seven counties in Kenya. This process will create a foundation of the project in Kenya for effective planning on how to open up new branches in the country so as to reach many vulnerable people. d). In the same identified county of pilot project, we propose to do a baseline survey which will help us develop a framework for implementation. We will assess WorldOpp project based on strength, weaknesses, opportunity and threats commonly known as SWOT Analysis in Kenyan version. e). we will thereafter conduct meetings with community stakeholders (Kenya government officers, local leaders representing churches, civil society organizations, target groups of people) in Kisii county. They will informed about the baseline survey findings and also make a sustainable recommendation how best they would wish the WorldOpp projects will be run. This will post public participation as enshrined in Kenyan Laws. At the same time this promote project ownership by the local people and open up the WorldOpp operation process such as illustrated below Vulnerable group identification- Recruitment of vulnerable group- Admission of vulnerable group-Skills training for vulnerable groups- Graduation of vulnerable groups- Employment of vulnerable groups- Project sustainability. Kindly check on what we have as our tentative decision.
