Hi Robert, Thank you for your question. Indeed the concern you have raised is a genuine one. However, it seems to have come to late. The request for names has been on the page for more than ten weeks, if am not mistaken. Infact we have moved back and forth with it so much so that i strongly feel. The only thing we can do at this stage is to include the names you have proposed on the list for the vote without having to open another discussion that will make us move in circles without any output. On that note i suggest you cast your vote and the process proceeds to a conclusion. Some times too much emphasis leads to procrastination. Let's be decisive. Thank you. Sam Andema

What is unclear to me is the purpose for these names. Are they meant for establishing an NGO, business entity, or community conscous group? Which ever the case, I feel there is something wrong with the names. The names are long, academic, and difficult to remember. A name like " West Nile Global Forum for Sustainable Development" smacks of some political connotations. Not only that it sounds like a UN development programme for the people of West Nile. Again the name " West Nile Strategic Development Commission" definitely sounds like a government body undertaking a commision of inquiry into development issues in West Nile. It is not always true that an organisational name must capture all that it will do, locations, and which area it will serve. We need a simple name that ordinary people will easily identify with , and a name that can easily beome a brand. What is important, is not how elaborate the name is, but what the name can do. Now , what is my suggestion? As an NGO, we could have names such as: "The Green North (TGN)" "Nile Development Initaiative(NDI)" "Nile Community Development (NCD)" "Centre for Community Empowerment(CCW)" As a businees "NIle Rivers Limited(NRL)" "Nile Waters Limited(NWL)" "Nile Corporations Limited(NCL)" As a community conscious group "Nile Peoples Platform(NPP)" "Centre for Community Consciousness(CCC or 3C)" Am sorry for taking you back. But these suggestions were meant as food for thought. It can still be improved. In modern times, simplicity is key - especilly marketing and branding of products and services.
