The retreat was held on 3rd to 5th January 2018 to mainly come up with plans for 2018 and reflect on the activities implemented in the year 2017.

ToroDev works with a team which consists of people in a variety of skilled positions needed to implement the project activities for the organization, for any Organization to thrive, economically and socially, it is vital to bring all staff along at every stage, building a healthy corporate culture by addressing the inevitable gaps that open up between the staff and the organizations’ vision.

More still the retreat was organized to offer staff an invaluable opportunity to pause, step back from their everyday duties of working in the Organizations and gain enough perspective to reflect on the organization in constructive ways. The retreat sharpened our focus to clarify the organization’ priorities and boosted the morale of the staff.
