Roseau, Dominica – September 22, 2009…….The Waitukubuli National Trail (WNT) Project Management Unit takes its public awareness programme to another level in its continuing efforts to market the WNT in the region and beyond.
The Project Management Unit (PMU) joined by the Regional Council of Martinique will participate in two radio programmes in Guadeloupe during the weekend 26th – 27th September, 2009. One of the programmes is a popular Creole programme “Melting Pot” on Kilti FM and another programme called “Total Connection” will be aired on Gayak FM.
The activities are being facilitated through host and executive member of the Dominica-Guadeloupe Association, Mr. Clayton Florent.
Activities at home continue with the fifth district sensitization workshop scheduled to take place today, Tuesday, September 22, 2009, at the Dublanc Primary School, starting at 3.30 pm. This workshop targets the communities of Dublanc, Bioche and Colihaut in the vicinity of segments 10 and 11. Segment 10 is from Colihaut to Syndicate and Segment 11 is from Syndicate to Borne.
Recently the PMU also collaborated with the Carib Council for its first open air meeting in Bataca, in the Carib Territory to educate residents of the area about the WNT and what it offers. Young persons amongst the gathering asked a number of pertinent questions.
The PMU coordinates and communicates with stakeholders and the general public on a continuous basis and disseminates relevant information aimed at marketing and encouraging stakeholder ownership of the WNT. Marketing of the trail is also being coordinated in partnership with Discover Dominica Authority.
The Project Management Unit of the Waitukubuli National Trail Project places great significance on effective communication methods, critical to success now and beyond the project life.
