ECO- COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER SCHEME (ECOVOs)
Eco- Community Volunteer Scheme (ECOVOS) was conceived by CECOD in 2010 to fill the gap that exists in university graduates as a result of examination oriented and theoretical education system in Ugandan institutions of learning. The scheme enables university graduates to learn on job to become job creators rather than job seekers with maximum exposure in the course of working with communities.
The scheme is based on the principles of Education for Sustainable Development focusing on enhancing the volunteers reflective and action competence to contribute towards social transformation, Economic development and environmental sustainability among local communities as they acquire the required skills and experience.
The program is currently working in the of Mbarara, Bushenyi, and Isingiro districts of western Uganda. The scheme has assisted in training a number of graduates both international and local from institutions of higher learning in the region. The scheme is ongoing, continuous and enrolls international volunteers once a year and local volunteers after six months.
Rationale:
ECOVOS is in place to fill the gap between theoretical education of university graduates and the need for practical experience for their future jobs, empower graduates and communities in Environmental Education and Sustainable Development.
