Re: [WestNileNet] Re: West Nile Foundation
Dear All, Reading through Charles' concerns, I concur that we steer clear of loans to any persons for now. Not even students. If need be then just sponsor them if we can. This is from experience and please don't lead us to that path for now. SACCO might be a good idea but the Foundation needs to set the groundfor that. Ejiku - Original Message - From: Caleb Alaka To: A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2010 4:37 AM Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] Re: West Nile Foundation point noted.

I have some observations and I was hoping to provide them all at once but that can't due to time constraints. I will for now focus on the following for your consideration: 1) Governance 2) HQs Location 3) Membership 4) Loans for members 1) Governance: In my own humble opinion, there should be a non-execuive board of directors (BODs) headed by the Chairperson and then Directors. All these would be part-time positions. The BODs would be responsible for policy and overseeing the executive of teh Foundation. The Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation should be the Executive Director, hired by the BODs. This could start part-time and then become a full time position depending on funds. The Executive Director would be deputized by Directors for each District of WN. In the absence of the ED, one of the Directors would act. 2) HQs Location: If WNF is to cater for the development of WN, then it's HQs should be located in WN - preferably in Arua with a Liaison office in Kampala. The HQs may only be in Kampala on a temporary basis if there is not enough funds to set up an Arua office. As the Foundation grows, offices can be opened in the various district hqs. 3) I thought teh foundation is to cater for the people of West Nile as a whole. According to plan so it seems that it is a member-based foundation which principally will benefit the members who are currently on WN Net and those who will join over time. I need to be educated further on this because I thought that membersship to the Foundation should only be limited to West Nile NGOs and Civil Society or Community Based Organizations. I beleive that if we combed West Nile with a fine comb from village, Parish, Subcounty and County level, we could find close to 4000 West Nileans who have access to the Internet. I use the example of Kobokonet where we have more that 250 members and yet compared to more populated counties with more graduates, I beleive we could easily find close to 600 or more from each of Maracha, Terego, Ayivu, without mentioning Nebbi and Moyo districts. WNF needs funds to start with and this can be raised through voluntary contributions from those on WNNet and others who are not on the Net. This can be the job of the Executive Director. We have successfully raised funds voluntarily for Kobokonet projects and I know the will is there on WNNet to raise funds to start the Foundation. Even though few people will come forward, they will do so wholeheartedly and not feel that they have been forced to do so. In this way we can still keep WNNet as a forum for everyone whether they have paid money to the Foundation or Not. From my personal expereince, the few people who care will always support a worthy cause. Once we make it manadatory for WNNEt members to donate, the expectations for something in return will rise and once those expectations aren't met, problems may begin to arise. 4) Loans for members: In my opinion we should steer away far from offering loans for members from the Foundation unless Foundation members open a separate SACCO to cater for that purpose. Starting a loan scheme from the Foundation funds for members could easily destroy the Foundation. The only loan scheme I would encourage would be tied to the Student AID - soft loans (low interest loans) for needy students instead of grants. In my experience many of the young people who have received free financial help from relatives don't even care about extending help to the younger ones. A loan scheme will weed out the serious students from those not serious. Of course we can forgive the loans on extenuating circumstances such as disability or death of the receipient. Funds for the Foundation: The USAID Office in Kampala does provide funds for Civil Society Organizations and the Foundation could start with making inquiries
