Write-shop to draft two main documents for CARLEP


Gender Mainstreaming Strategy and Knowledge Management Strategy are two most important documents in CARLEP, complying the requirement of IFAD and also recognizing its due importance in the field. 

To draft/develop these two Strategies, a write-shop was organized from 12-18thDecember, 2016 by CARLEP at Lingmethang, Mongar, calling in the participants from the six Eastern Dzongkhags from Agriculture and Livestock sector. Representatives from RLDC, ARDC and RAMCO also attended making the total participants to about 40 heads. The session was facilitated by the Resource person from NCWC, PPD of MoAF, OPM and ARDC.
Participants
 I as a GKMO (Gender and Knowledge Management Officer) at CARLEP, who is responsible for the successful implementation of these two documents somehow is feeling accomplished yet nervous. 
 
You must be wondering why I must feel nervous.  It is because these two documents should be my bible and my master piece. It has my action plan in place. By any chance, if I fail to execute my functions in accordance to what is reflected, the whole of CARLEP image may descend. After all, addressing the gender issues and harvesting knowledge products are the two essential elements in CARLEP. 

Anyway, I am hopeful that I won’t fail because I have a very supportive staffs including our boss, the Programme Director. I see the world with our PD Mr. Tashi Wangdi. He is such an inspiring man, a good leader who takes everyone on same boat. With his constant guidance, I don’t fear of anything.

The other staffs are equally motivating and supportive. I can rely on them not just on official matters but also the personal matters. Like a big brother and a father they are with approachable nature, I seek their shade even if the sun isn’t so scorching. 

And I have my motherly friend mam choki.wangmo. She is the 2nd kindest woman apart from my mom. She guides me, scolds me and to the most, she is one who is so reliable. She got that unique nature of being so straight forward. It doesn't matter whom, where, what and when, if she has to say something, she will do. I am assuming she is one with the purest mind, heart and soul.

I as the youngest member among 11 of us in the office has all the space for acting childish and pampered. I irritate some of them, talk nonsense with some of them, tease some of them and remains almost carefree. But I love and respect them all. 

Oops, I am diverging from the title of my post. Coming back, the write-shop has ended. But the drafting of these two strategies are on the way. Anyway, it won’t take long to produce the copy which will be made available on our CARLEP website at www.carlep.gov.bt and also CARLEP facebookpage.

Please follow us and keep yourself updated because CARLEP is a 7th IFAD Project in Bhutan that is targeted to uplift our farming communities which is the ultimate goal of everyone.

Dear valued readers, Did you miss me? Yes, I know you did. Thank you. Well, I have had enough pause for the writing I mean updating in my blog. I just couldn’t get into the blog for some reasons, reasons that I cannot really figure out. At some point, I thought I am not going to write. Really. I thought I will just leave it. Not because I had no time. I had enough time. I spent 100s of hours watching Korean drama and reading some short fictional stories online. I enjoyed those hours more than I enjoy scribbling my nonsense like this. Maybe, I didn’t want to use my brain or waste my energy scribbling. Maybe, I like something more fun or something more luxurious like getting lazy and not doing anything good. Oh no, these excuses make no sense. Let the blame be on me. Yes, I just didn’t feel like writing. I was just that fat lazy fox, wanting to be ideal. But you know what? Do you know what got me writing this? It’s my readers who got me this pause button back to playing. I have had seve

I missed my blog

I missed my blog Though it is not more than a week that I last updated my blog but why do I feel like it has been a decade ago? You know, I don’t write regularly neither I write well when I do. I have never enjoyed one of my writing as much as I enjoys of all others. However, the creation of blog ID online has like insisting me to write, almost every day. I feel like something has gone missing if I don’t write anything in a day. A single sentence or a single paragraph suffices this feelings though.  But these days, I have been out on filed, on tour. This may seem like an excuse if I say I haven’t written anything. Well, to be honest, I haven’t written anything of my interest. It is because I just didn’t know what to write? People say “For a writer, they don’t need a topic. Everything can be the topic of interest.” But you know, since I am not a writer, nothing could be my topic. This somehow made me little too much embarrassed. Saying this, it may seem like I do wa

My history for the blog

Blogging has never been my dream or it wasn’t actually in my mind up until I was in the final year at College. In fact, I have never heard of blogging until one of my college mates talked about his blog during our informal chit-chats.   I said inside “What nonsense is that thing called blog?”  He was saying “Blog is an online page, where we can write whatever. And it is almost like an online diary.”  Back in the room, I tried to find out more about blog. And I found out that ‘blog is an online page, like my friend said where we can publish, update and share it on the World Wide Web.’ Still, my impression was same because i felt i have no story to be shared to the world's page.  Thus, I never got curious in the blog thing and I didn’t even explore. By the way, I was facebook freak that time. And ofcorse, I am still the same. Whatever little thing I used to write other than my personal diary, I used to upload it under my timeline in the facebook. I used to get flat
