“The policy is not different from what has been there except that
it has been revised to take cognizance of the changes that CAFOD has gone
through in the past one year. The information was disseminated to the partners
who in turn have given their feedback,” Ms. Ogolla said expressing her delight
that the partners are now fully aware of what CAFOD intend to implement with
them and that the partners have clear understanding of the general principles, and
the standards that are expected from them, a scenario which puts both CAFOD and
