During the meeting, the Executive Director (Programmes) of SHADE-IN and Director of Strategy, Research and Planning, CONGOs, Bliss Ojeruse, presented a report on the analysis on organisational capacity questionnaires issued to members during the general meeting held on 3rd April, 2018. The analysis, which was carried out by representatives of SHADE-IN and RICH NGO, on behalf of the Conference revealed the areas of needs for capacity building which include Social Media, Strategic Planning, Policies Formulation, Report Writing, M&E systems and fund raising systems.

Meanwhile, in course of the session, Bliss Ojeruse (SHADE-IN) was commended for her work in assisting to reposition the Conference.

The session and organisers, which include Bliss Ojeruse of SHADE-IN, were appreciated and commended by participants. The session was on point considering the presence of organisations who attended the meeting for the first time and who were start ups.
