One World Service

Every year, LWF World Service gathers country directors, emergency team leaders, regional coordinators and other staff to discuss critical issues related to programmatic and managerial work. During the meeting staff will review and assess the challenges and opportunities of providing effective accompaniment and quality services to the communities where they are present around the world in various contexts. Similarly, this will be an opportunity to explore ways to leverage the rich and diverse community, expertise and knowledge that constitutes LWF World Service.
