GLM Swaziland’s first project on capacity building has started smoothly. In February, GLM organised several
workshops on organisational leadership and management skills in the urban community of Msunduza and in the rural areas of Dlangeni. Training of trainers has kicked off in Dlangeni, and another series of workshops shall be organised in both communities later in May and June, with the support of Mr. Mutamba from Zambia, one of the founders of GLM. These workshops will focus more on practical skills such as project proposal writing and fundraising.

The next project proposal is currently being drafted. A baseline study team has carried out surveys in several communities around Mbabane, scoping out fertile ground for a new sanitation and waste management project. The project is planned together with the Global Dry Toilet Association of Finland and the local university.
