Thanks Peter. There is also a problem of bias especially with the Canada funds for local initiatives. Some friends have applied before and failed to get the funds simply because, and I'm guessing, the intermediaries recommending the projects for approval are not from WN and so tend to reject projects from WN. A friend from Koboko who used to work for a European organisation in K'la alluded to this unfortunate bias in project selection. In fact, my friend was harrassed by her southern bosses to the extent she was forced to resign from a well paying job. The bosses wanted to get one of their own and indeed they didn't waste time to do so after my friend was forced to quit. Peter, please keep us up to date.. don't forget the Japanese embassy funds. Looks like a better chance of succeeding given that the Jap ambassador was in WN not long ago. Best, C Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Rogers network.
