TAF AFRICA ORGANIZES A THREE-DAY STAFF RETREAT TO DRIVE IMPACTFUL CHANGE IN 2025

From L - R:

At the beginning of the year, TAF Africa recently organized a three-day staff retreat aimed at strengthening organizational capacity and enhancing team synergy. The retreat provided an opportunity for strategic reflection, leadership development, and program planning to drive impactful change in 2025.

 

A key highlight of the retreat was the Leadership Development session, which focused on building strong leaders to champion disability inclusion and empowerment. Additionally, Departmental Presentations facilitated collaboration, as teams shared insights on their achievements, challenges, adjustments, and plans. These sessions allowed for a comprehensive assessment of past efforts and helped align strategies for greater efficiency and effectiveness.

 

The retreat also included a deep dive into Program Planning & Implementation, ensuring that TAF Africa remains well-positioned to advance its mission in the new year. Facilitating the departmental presentations was Mr. Tony Epelle, the Managing Consultant/CEO of Samuelson Advisory Partners Limited and a board member of TAF Africa. His expertise and guidance enriched discussions and helped shape forward-looking strategies.

 

A significant moment of the retreat was the visit of Ms. Paola Pace, the Deputy Chief of Mission at the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Nigeria. Her engagement provided a platform for discussions on advocacy opportunities for persons with disabilities, emphasizing the need for their inclusion in migration dialogues.

 

Additionally, the retreat welcomed Mr. Chuks Okpaka, the Azure Business Group Lead for Microsoft Africa Subsidiary Area, who shared insights on leveraging Microsoft Co-Pilot to enhance TAF Africa’s work on disability inclusion. His presentation highlighted the potential of AI-driven tools to improve productivity and innovation in the sector.

 

As the retreat concluded, the team reflected on past achievements, exchanged innovative ideas, and aligned their collective vision for the year ahead.
