Further cooperations

For three years, GWAD has also been cooperating with the German “Senior Experten Service” (SES) receiving an expert from German, Dr. Robert Haas, on a regular basis to support GWAD’s work and development. In 2022, GWAD further participated in the project “Team works” by the German African Youth Office and the SES for an exchange program with the Eine Welt Netz NRW e.V. In doing so, Svenja Bloom (Eine Welt Netz NRW) joined the GWAD-team in Gulu for one month and Solomon Rackara (GWAD) joined the team of the Eine Welt Netz NRW in Münster, also for one month. Both Dr. Haas and Miss Bloom are and will further support the work of GWAD from Germany.
