Deadline: January 2, 2018
The Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety is now accepting applications for the African Alliance Advocate training, which will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, in March 2018. The Global Alliance mobilizes and empowers NGOs from around the world to make roads safer for all and advocate for road victims’ rights.
Following the Alliance Empowerment Program mid-term evaluation, they are changing the way that they will deliver the Alliance Advocates training in 2018. Alliance Advocate training is shifting from a single, global training course, to several, regional courses. The first regional practical training will be offered for member NGOs from Africa in March in Nairobi, Kenya. A call for applications will soon be sent to all members from African regions.
Alliance Advocates are an elite group among the Alliance members who have undergone a rigorous training program and made a commitment to implementing evidence-based, SMART programs in their home countries and regions. Through individualized mentoring and training, their skills are nurtured and their expertise grows visibly as they advocate for risk areas. They are also called upon to represent the Alliance. They are role models for other Alliance members, governments, and their communities in key risk areas and will actively advocate for change and are called upon to share their expertise with fellow Alliance members.
