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.

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.
