Community Development Alliance has finally acquired its own bank account. The account with the name Community Development Alliance was opened on 09th January 2009 at Stanbic Bank Uganda Ltd – Nebbi Branch. This will now “strengthen and facilitate financial management, transparency and accountability of the organization” as stated by Mama Mado (the Chairperson EC) during the meeting in which the executive committee resolved to open a bank account. The account was opened in Uganda because in this part of Congo (Eastern Region) there are no bank services so people have to cross over to the neighboring countries in order to access such services.
The funds from the account will be withdrawn by the three members of the organizations who are the signatories, e.g. Coordinator, Chairperson and the General Secretary. The treasurer who was supposed to be one of the signatories instead of General Secretary could not make it due her disability stratus which can not allow her travel long distance on a motorcycle which is the only available means of transport.
Mean while the students who were meant to conclude their training in December have finally completed but there was no official graduation ceremony, we intent to organize it at a later date, when funds will allow. Other students will be recruited during this month of January and February then begins training in March.
