Use Backward and Forward linkages at KIFA
By George Obua | Project Leader
Like in Economics terms, backward and forward linkages explains how the creation of one industry can call for another development of other industries; either backward or forward; and this type of development in economic terms is referred to as backward and forward linkages.
However in an NGO context, it is referred to as the connections and relationships an organization builds within its operational ecosystem (such as the community, government, and private sector) to ensure a project's success and sustainability. These terms are adapted from economic development theory to describe how an NGO's activities create demand for inputs (backward) and encourage further investment or development in subsequent stages (forward).
How is this type of concept is being used at Kole Intellectual Forum (backward Linkages)
To start with, at Kole Intellectual Forum, this idle concept, backward linkages, are the tools they are using to guide them in the processes of connecting with their suppliers or preceding parts of their value chain to obtain the necessary inputs (resources, services, or support) for their projects and this one is the core tool for succeed of the organization (KIFA) today.
Forward Linkages
Meanwhile on the other hand, the forward linkages, the organization is involved at the connections and opportunities that can create to them subsequent stages of development or the downstream part of the value chain, as a result of the NGO's project. These linkages focus on what happens after the immediate project output is achieved and how it enables further growth or social impact

As one engages in progressively more intense or longer aerobic sessions, his/her body becomes more efficient at using oxygen, leading to improved endurance, heart health, and weight management.
Why should one engage in an aerobic exercise? It has been learnt that: the cordial principles of progressive aerobic exercise improve one’s health positively base of the following circumstances:
- Frequency: How often one exercise per week.
- Intensity: How hard one is working or exercising in terms of speed, incline, resistance).

Traditional Dances: A tool used to pass knowledge
By George Obua | Project Leader
At Kole Intellectual Forum traditional Dances are considered to be a tool of interest and it is force that is needed to the society because they serve as a way to preserve cultural heritage, pass down knowledge, and strengthen community bonds. They act as a dynamic form of communication, expressing history, values, and emotions while fostering a shared identity and social cohesion among different groups.
Cultural preservation and identity
- Bridge to the past: Traditional dances connect people to their roots by celebrating their history, heritage, and ancestral traditions.
- Expression of beliefs: They reflect a society's way of life, beliefs, and norms, representing the unique identity of a region or ethnic group.
- Cultural exchange: These dances promote understanding and appreciation of diversity by providing a platform for cultural exchange within a society and with other cultures.
Social cohesion and community
- Unity and togetherness: Dance is a communal activity that binds generations together and builds a sense of unity, often expressed through synchronized rhythms and group performances.
- Communication: They provide a non-verbal language to express emotions like joy, sorrow, and love, and to tell stories and share wisdom within the community.
- Social structure: The way a dance is structured can reflect and reinforce the social structure of a community, for example, by separating participants by age, gender, or status.
Education and knowledge transfer
- Passing down knowledge: Dances often contain intricate stories, moral lessons, and wisdom that are passed down through generations, especially in societies with strong oral traditions.
- Commemorating events: They are used to mark important life events such as births, marriages, and harvests, and to celebrate milestones in a community's life.
- Skill and creativity: They help teach and maintain traditional skills, and can stimulate creativity and imagination as individuals develop unique movements and choreography.
