In his
concluding remarks at the end of the workshop, the AMECEA Secretary General Fr.
Ferdinand Lugonzo as he was commending the role played by
the participants said that the objectives set at the beginning of the workshop
were all met. “Our main objective of the workshop was to collect information

“This is a
strategic plan made by AMECEA for AMECEA; there was no expert from outside
AMECEA who was involved. We have borrowed a lot and based so much from the
expertise of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa and through the Vice
Chancellor Msgr. Pius Rutechura and all the CUEA Team, thank you for giving
back and for leading this process,” he said.

Not forgetting
the partners who have supported the initiative from the beginning of the plan
Fr. Lugonzo thanked CRS Regional office for support the initiatives and even
giving its personnel to help realize the idea. “We could not do this alone and
therefore we have partners who accompanied us and they are waiting to see what
we have collected from this workshop and they are still making their
contributions in terms on monetary contributions, technical advice and even the
promise and commitment that they are ready to walk with us up to the
implementation stage. On behalf of all the partners including those who are
here with us today Mr. Patrick Markey and Fritz Zuger from USCCB, thank you for
your support,” he said.
