Activities of PORAKA

Workshops for SWOT analysis of the local branches and day centers of PORAKA

          As a part of the program activities for coordination and support to its local branches and services, the Republic center for support of persons with intellectual disability - PORAKA every year organizes workshops for SWOT analysis of the local branches and social services. The SWOT analysis is a very useful tool for assessing the current situation within the organization, with all its strengths and weaknesses, as well as the opportunities and the threats that come from the environment where the organization acts. If it is correctly prepared, SWOT analysis should be a base for development of real and effective action plans of the organization. Furthermore, it can provide ways for improving and overcoming the weaknesses of the organization.
          This year, the Republic center - PORAKA held two workshops for elaboration of the received SWOT analysis. The first workshop was organized on 9.10.2009 in Skopje, for the representatives from 16 local branches of the Republic Center - PORAKA. The second workshop was held on 17.10.2009 for the personnel in the day centers - PORAKA from Skopje, Kumanovo, Ohrid and Radovis.
          During the workshops, each of the participants had the opportunity to present the SWOT analysis, also to present the current activities in their organizations. After each presentation, the management team of Republic center - PORAKA, as well as the other participants, made remarks and advices relating the work of each local branch and day center, emphasizing the positive examples of successful work.
