10 HISTORY OF UNION OF WEST AFRICA VOLUNTARY WORKCAMPS ASSOCIATION PREAMBLE The History of the Union of West Africa Voluntary Workcamps Associations will not be completed without mentioning the role played by Gerson gu-konu a Togolese National who was in the world Service Civil International. In West Africa of the late fifties and early sixties there were voluntary service organisations which were existing independently carrying out their workcamp activities the best way they could, exchange volunteers with each other but never a very serious thought to the idea of forming a Regional group. The idea of forming a regional body was muted by Gerson gu-konu who met a fertile soil in the minds of the existing organisations : Voluntary Workcamps Association of Ghana (VOLU), VOLUNTARY WORKCAMPS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (VWAN), the ODDEPPES of Dahomey, the ASTOVOCT of Togo and the AICA of Cote d Ivoire. These organisations became the founding fathers of the UWAVWA at a meeting held in Accra, Ghana in September, More organisations were later invited. There are the USJID in Dahomey, the AVEAP of the then Haute Volta now Burkina Faso and the Central Liberte of Senegal. By the following year 1971 at another meeting held in Accra, Ghana a formal format was set thereby giving birth to an ECOWAS of Voluntary Service Organisations before the political and economic ECOWAS of the governments of West Africa countries. This year 1971 also saw manning of various activities. Seminars, Leadership Training Courses, UWAVWA workcamp programmes and the Village Anilation Project which were made possible by CCIVS. Apart from regular meetings at which the above programmes were planned, mention must be made that almost all the programmes planned were executed: The march 1972 Seminar at Yemonsoukro ; Ivory Coast. It was at this meeting that the 3 rd leadership training was finally agreed upon and it took place in Nsutem, Ghana in the summer of that year. Another Leadership programme was planned and executed by the Union in 1974 in the Republic of Benin. This was held at Ecole Normale in Porto-Novo. A part from these some UWAVWA Camps were held in some countries of the region namely: Akroful-Agove in the Volta Region of Ghana ; Sokode in the Central Region of Togo and Igbodja-Save in the Central Region of the Republic of Benin to mention just a few.
11 The history of the Union up to this point would looks as if is a catalogue of successes. No, the Union has its reverses, setbacks and failures. Some of its main failures were the punctuation of the Village Animation Project of the Benin Republic. This was caused by over-dependence on foreign funds. The inability of member organisations and indeed the Union to raise its funds locally and internationally without going through a third party is another handicap. The last but not the least is human failure in the form of personification of office by regional office holders - human centricity, infra-structural bankruptcy and embroiled national chauvinism. All the above and some other reasons not mentioned contributed to the demise of the Union of West African Voluntary Workcamps Association. If lack of its own funds was the reason why the original UWAVWA became moribund, serious thought should be given to fund-raising both locally and internationally. Membership fees drive and appeal for donations from friendly countries and donor agencies should be explore to make the rejuvenated UWAVWA financially solid and erected on a very good foundation. Further efforts should also be made to recover the Union s funds in the Republic of Benin. THE WAY FORWARD Since WILL IS WAY members of the rejuvenated UWAVWA must first of all have the will to succeed at the back of their minds. Petty jealousies and lackadaisical attitude of the past must be thrown overboard and a new guard in the form of serious determination to move forward and succeed must be put on. The oldest Voluntary Workcamps Association in the region - VOLU-Ghana should come to the aid of the Union with all her experience, logistic, infrastructures and indeed financial backing. There is an African statement which says that if your junior brother s horse is on the loose, you must do everything to catch it. May be that is the only horse your family will ever own. Hegemony must stop. Member organisation should be in constant contact with each other so as to be in possession of first hand information about individual programmes. The issue of Networking and Capacity building should be promoted and enhanced. Appeal should be made to CCIVS to help in this information exchange problems so as to put necessary infrastructures in place. Many organisations have got no secretariat of their own so they need serious assistance in this regard. A man without a home cannot do any serious planning. Our Northern brothers should now shift their concentration to this region in terms of projects. In facts projects that will alleviate poverty at organisational and national level should be carried out. A poor organisation cannot change the status of its country if its own conditions do not improve.
12 In conclusion therefore, my appeal to all members shall be this let us come together and build a new UWAVWA. We can afford to disagree, we can afford to view things from different angles but we cannot afford to sacrifice the progress and improvement of UWAVWA for either personal, political or some other idiosyncrasies. Thank you very much and God bless. LONG LIVE UWAVWA. LONG LIVE REGIONAL MEMBERS HENRY KAYODE OYEKU «UWAVWA» V.W.A.N. NIGERIA, April 2005
