Operation Mercy hosts annual global project managers meeting in Orebro, Sweden

Project managers from 9 different countries in Central Asia and the Middle East met from May 10 to 18 to discuss the progress of Operation Mercy's programs worldwide.  Project reports emphasized the crosscutting themes of gender equality, long term sustainability, community empowerment, and wholistic transformation of both the community and the individual through stakeholder driven development initiatives.

The initiation of "self help groups" and how they can be used as vehicles for community wide transformation was an area of particular emphasis this year.  Read more about SHGs on Operation Mercy's website.
