The 2016 C3
Continental Summit was held in Entebbe, Uganda from the 5th -7th
December. A total of 36 teams from 9 different countries converged to share
lessons learnt. The teams were from Ethiopia, DRC, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Senegal
and Uganda. Others were Nigeria, Kenya and Zambia.
The summit
this time around focused on sharing experiences
of the C3 programme (Clinic-CBO Collaboration), learn about others working in
the field and plans ways forward. Facilities and community-based organisations (CBOs) continue
to operate in silos due to limited structural mechanisms that effectively
facilitate and coordinate meaningful engagement between them.
It is against this background that PATA in partnership with
the Positive Action for Children Fund partnered to facilitate this process which
culminated in the holding of this summit.
The summit was officially
opened by Dr Cordelia from the Ministry of Health, Uganda on the 5th
of December 2016. Thereafter, summit overview was given by Luan Hatane which was
followed by presentations/ session chaired by Dominic Kemps from the Positive
Action for Children Fund.
Overally all the teams
interacted very well and shared experiences and the way forward was made.
KCIA and Chazanga clinic had a chance
to make a presentation as well as a panel discussion as a C3 sportlight
project. It was such an honour to have been given such an opportunity among the
many projects across the nine countries.
The team therefore wishes once
again to thank the organiser for giving us such a great opportunity.Representatives
included: Frederick Lizubuho, Maureen Tembo and Eugene Mupakile.
