STRENGTHENING THE VOICE AND IMPACT OF YMCAS IN AFRICA
YMCA Madagascar is launching a new project this year: Doin’it Right (DIR).
With the collaboration of YWCA-YMCA Sweden and funding from SMC and SIDA in Sweden, the Doin’it Right project marks the start of a new phase in our commitment to strengthening YMCA Madagascar’s organizational capacity and promoting the development of Madagascan youth.
The project launch workshop took place on February 28-29 and March 1, led by Heriniaina Randriamalala, Executive Director of Programs. All national and field staff met at the YMCA Madagascar headquarters in Ankerana to get to grips with this major project, which will run for three years (2024-2026).
