    I feel very glad to get this training opportunity. But time is very short to get the IELTS score. But i am very fluent in English. Now my question is who should recommend me about this?

    Thanks Nazia

    I am Kenyan and an active member of a registered Community based organization championing peace and cohesion building, reduction in drug and substance abuse, and inter-relations, between members of the diverse tribes (over 42), resident in our country. From attached newsletter, Kenya is not among the countries specified for funding on peace building, at least in this call.
    How can we access some funding to enable us to build capacities of our eighty plus volunteers and members who have no basic knowledge on professional peace building strategies.
    Kindly share with us.
    Regards
    Peter
