Welcome:

This website – http://andrewbende.dk is a personal blog for reaching out to those who follow me around the life I encounter and work with everyday.

Who I am:

Facilitator, this is the word that best describes me. I have throughout my life been that child, young adult, and now social worker/program coordinator, that strives to facilitate people, groups and organizations to reach their targets.

In my backpack I carry:

• 14 years of experience with international development and civil society mobilization and management, gained through 9 years of work in Africa (Uganda, Zambia, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya), and 5 in Denmark.
• This has come with great experience in managing, leading and sustaining civil societies (both local and international), program and project management, skills and experience in fundraising, donor relations, as well as Intercultural communication/facilitation.
• Additionally, I have extensive experience with establishing and maintaining networks/partnerships, and capacity building/training among partners in the South and in Denmark.

I am open to good social interactions, topical discussions and networking, across which, I take keen interest in learning at every step.
