An expanded program can mean greater demands on existing staff as well as the need for additional staff, which must be taken into account. Rather than relying so heavily on third parties as implementing partners, OTI should implement directly with communities or community-based groups as much as possible. Program resources can be effectively stretched when paired with other donor initiatives. To avoid raising expectations and creating unnecessary confusion, program objectives need to be explained carefully and fully at the outset. The program needs to be flexible in design and implementation needs to respond to local needs with timely delivery.
Community engagement is crucial for mobilization and ownership of projects.
For the media program, immediate priorities include promoting broader dissemination of information to the districts. Public information remains one of the main challenges facing the electoral campaign and civic education in general. The information will provide a baseline and help to inform the message and material development. Visit our contact page to find the appropriate resource.
