EVENT PLANNING
Three Stones has organized, coordinated and facilitated several high-profile conferences and workshops in Rwanda and Uganda. For example, in November 2018 as part of the International Family Planning Conference, we managed the PAI QUEST Quality Matters Reception for 300 guests in Kigali. We also planned and facilitated the Land O’Lakes Rwanda Close-out Event for their Rwanda Dairy Competitiveness Programme (RCDP II). The event hosted over 100 attendees including Government of Rwanda representatives, relevant Embassies and Consulates and, key stakeholders and beneficiaries. As well, we arranged and facilitated the results dissemination event for RTI and Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) on "Using Trials of Improved Practices to Test Strategies for More Optimal Nutrition in Underweight and Overweight Children in Rwanda." And, we managed WaterAid Rwanda’s Strategic Planning Luncheon (two events, each including nearly 150 participants).
