Theme: Enhancing the relationship of Koinonia Community with its stakeholders.
When: Friday 29th June 2018, 8:30am to 12:00pm
Where: Shalom House, St. Daniel Comboni Rd., off Ngong Road, Nairobi
Background
Koinonia is a lay organization promoting integral human development and community life. Koinonia fosters a culture of peace and solidarity, striving to counteract the economic and social evils bred by individualism. In order to fully achieve our agenda and to give partner institutions a chance to interact we have decided to come up with a networking breakfast meeting.
In the spirit of our mantra ‘we belong to each other’, Koinonia Community strongly believes that sharing is key to success. The networking forum will mark the beginning of a series of formal interactive engagements with our stakeholders and other partners with an aim of strengthening the bond between Koinonia Community and its partners as well as establishing new partnerships. It is not only Koinonia Community will benefit but the stakeholders themselves will be able to form bonds and partnerships amongst themselves that will be useful in achieving their mandates.
The networking forum will also mark the beginning of a robust visibility campaign for promoting Koinonia community activities and provide a platform for partners to showcase their products with a possibility of investing. The Forum will provide an open session of interaction amongst the participants to share their experiences in different fields of operations.
Rationale
Networking is important for a variety of reasons both at the individual and organizational level, since it is a strategy of empowerment.There is a strong need to come together in order to share and exchange information with other people, groups and institutions to develop mutual relationships that are of benefit to all parties involved and the community at large. A strong networking strategy with relevant partners can greatly contribute to the success of an institution.

and each of the partners present will be given a chance to brief the gathering of their activities.
