Exactly what we needed

“It was exactly what we needed”. I am writing to follow up on the SMT coaching and leadership development that CBLI provided to ACPF from 2021- 2022. It was of immense help to us in our individual and collective leadership, and therefore to ACPF.  It was exactly what we needed at a time of transition, war, pandemic, funding cuts, etc. I’m so proud that we have not only kept going, but also grown learnt through the experiences and challenges.” Dr Joan Nyanyuki, Executive Director.
