Our Happy training testimonials

Kudos to the facilitators. You did an awesome job in moving us (me) from the near timid situation that I was in to a more confident person that I am now, spread across other parts of Africa.

I admire their mode of facilitation, especially how they designed the sitting structure, groups and their kindness in responding to trainees’ feedback.

COPA is a good institution for learners in peacebuilding programs in Africa.

The combination of diagram exercises, tools of analysis as well as style of delivery by the facilitators assisted my appreciation of the course objectives in enhancing my capacity as a trainers

Thank you to this training. I will now look at every programme, issue and situation through a gender lens and recommend action.

I learnt how I can do gender mainstreaming in my programming using CEDAW and UNSCR 1325.

It has been an interesting opportunity. I learnt a lot from colleagues perspectives in local community conflict management methods.
