"This course gave me an international view of correction services and confidence to look for jobs in the international realms where i believe i belong now. Please let your sponsors know that this training is not in vain so that others can benefit from it as i did."

"....I would like to let you know that: 1. upon my successful completion of the ITPPGG's course for correction officers I was carefully selected among few to attend a workshop for Prisons Staff Curriculum Development. I found the workshop interesting and my participation outstanding due to LECIA course. 2. I am so optimistic that future is bright for my career progression both locally and internationally. 3. I feel proud to be associated with LECIA and full of energy to go internationally."

"The warm receiption, Human treatment, Hospitality and knowlege acquired so far during our one week stay at Legon remains fresh always in my mind, for which I 'll forever remain greatful. May donors see reason in giving more support to this worth while inaitive."

"I must say the experience we had is so beneficial and memorable. Just say thanks and give a big hug to all your lovely colleagues."

"(...)The training I have attended at LECIA in last April has boosted my professional life. I have been selected as Director for Political Affairs of THE AFRICAN UNION in Western Sahara.It is a very high profile position. I keep thanking my God as well as LECIA for this new life. Let us keep praying THE ALMIGHTYGOD so that the major funds donors for THE LECIA Project should continue to finance this important training at LEGON University in Accra."

"The Training Course on Peace-Building and Good Governance for African Civilian Personnel organised by the Legon Center for International Affairs (LECIA), Accra Ghana, and Scuola Superiore Santa' Anna, Pisa (SSSUP ) Italy, is perhaps one of the most important capacity building programmes required to prepare civilian personnel who will be working in conflict and post-conflict environment in order to bring about peace and rebuild societies. As a former participant in the course, i am profoundly indebted to LECIA and SSSA for giving me the opportunity to benefit from the immense wealth of experience of its faculty members and resourse persons."

"I thank and commend you for the Election Observation Course I attended at LECIA.I am proud of the course. (Since having followed the Election Observation Course at ITPPGG)I have been in multiple demands by various sectors,amog them public,private,informal,religious,trade unions,NGOs,CBOs,women and youth movements to conduct civic,electoral and refendum training as Kenya is about to hold referendum on the draft constitution passed last year."

I must first and foremost mention that the programmes at Lecia have notonly been an eye opener but a blessing in disguise: since I attended the foundation course and later the specialised course I have realised that there is so much that we have to do for africa within Africa. (...) I have been privileged and honouerd to say that the two years that i have attened the courses at LECIA has been my opening grounds for me within the JUDICIARY in my country KENYA. (...) LONG LIVE THE VISSIN AND MISSION FOR LECIA FOR AFRICA.YOUR EFFORTS ARE UNMEASURABLE AND BE ASSURED THAT WE CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THE VISION AND MISSION OF LECIA"

"In conclusion therefore, I will say the ELECTION OBSERVATION COURSE at LECIA has been of immense benefit to me, my organisation and to my country Ghana as a whole. I will not hesitate to recommend the training programme on Election Observation to other persons both in Ghana and Africa. THANK YOU LECIA!!!!!!!!"

"I am thankful to the staffs of LECIA and their partners who have equipped me with the necessary skills as a peace builder. The act of successfully resolving this (of which refernce in the mssage to the ITPPGG) dispute is remarkable, and has been appreciated by CRS Tanzania and is documented in my performance appraisal as an achievement towards peace building initiatives. I am looking forward to continue strengthening my capacity in peace building and good governance. I see it as an asset that has proven useful in my current sector, agriculture and emergency."

"In general, the training at LECIA has helped to increase my knowledge skills in conflict management, hunamitarian assistance and transitional justice. It is my hope that LECIA will continue the program for the next four years to equip more persons who are actively involved in peace building in Africa"

"I am sure there are many challenges lying ahead of me but a training like the one you kindly organised for us made me ready for any challenge. If I was today posted in a trouble spot area I would rush there because I know I can make an impact . Thanks to the training!"

"Well... as for me things have actually changed. Thanks to the course in LECIA. I am now in the DR Congo as a UN Volunteer. I work with the electoral unit and have been posted to Mbuji Mayi in the centre province. I have been here for three weeks now."

"I am happy to let you know that the training programme has been immensely helpful to me personally and for my work. We have expanded our training programmes into the civil society sector with alot of good results. The Accra office of UNDP/UNV is finding placement for me to serve the world. I must say that I have had a fulfilling experience after my training.May God Bless all the Trainers and staff of LECIA/ITPCM/SSUP-Pisa for a good work done. Thank you very much. "
