This report summarizes the proceedings and output of the Team Enhancement Workshop for the EU/IBAR PACE Programme held at the Lenana House Training & Conference Centre, Nairobi, Kenya on 18thMarch, 2005. During the workshop issues of concern which hinder the smooth running of the Programme activities in view of interpersonal relations, team dynamics and operational procedures were addressed and ironed up. The workshop enforced that the success of the Programme depends on concerted efforts between the management, technical experts and the support systems. Complementarity between these organs and sound inter-relationships at both organizational and personal levels energizes the process of realizing the anticipated impacts. The workshop identified the underlying factor, which hinder teamwork and developed strategies to address them. It was underscored that it is a process to enhance team performance. As such, it was recommended that efforts be made to have a residential team enhancement retreat, to including the Bamako team, in the next quarter of the year. It was also recommended that the Advisory Committee be made aware of the efforts being made and the progress in addressing the Programme pre-conditions. Challenges were put forward for collective efforts in enhancing and maintaining the reactivated teamwork.
