Nasfat; a
foremost Islamic organisation in Nigeria with centres around the world has
recently being undergoing series of training to improve leadership capacities
of her leaders. This development seems to be the initiatives of the new
spiritual leadership of sheikh (Imam) Maruf Onike AbdulAzeez
or could it be just co-incidental.
This progress
which is giving the association the opportunity to maintain her standard is
contributing greatly to the image of Islam and position Muslims to where we
truly belong.
One of those
training organised recently is that of the Community Leadership and Development
Training presently ongoing at Senegal. As gathered on the association twitter
page. The training is hosted by Tostan Training Center (TTC) and The Carter
Centre.
Tostan and @CarterCenter are hosting religious leaders from #Nigeria @nasfathq for another Promoting Community Wellbeing training in #Senegal. Wishing them #MondayMotivation for the 2nd week of learning ahead! https://t.co/BgkK9mDtNx pic.twitter.com/K2we77TJfR— Tostan (@Tostan) 9 July 2018
About Tostan
Training Center (TTC)
“At the Tostan
Training Center (TTC), Tostan hosts international training courses in English
and French on its human rights-based approach to community-led development. Our
education model has been consistently developed and updated in response to
feedback from thousands of communities in West and East Africa over the past 28
years. Recognizing its proven positive effects for community-led development,
an increasing number of community activists, members of local, national and
international organizations and governments, as well as representatives from
academia and the media expressed an interest in further information and
training on the Tostan model. We developed a unique 10-day training that uses a
participatory, learner-centered approach, drawing its strength from trainers
with extensive experience implementing the Tostan Community Empowerment Program
in rural Africa. Our training serves individuals and groups who share a
commitment to human dignity, transformative learning, holistic empowerment, and
collective action.”
