Objectives :
The objective of the Project is to enable participating
NGOs to operate more efficiently and effectively. Through capacity building
, structured training and the enhancement of a resource center for greater
network opportunities, the Project will allow clients of Non–Governmental
Organizations (NGOs) to have access to better services. Thus NGOs will be
able to achieve national goals of poverty reduction and sustainable
development.
Project description:
The Project has three components :
Organizational Development and Institutional
Strengthening .
Management Training Courses for the NGO Sector
(human resource development).
Information and Documentation Centre.
The Organizational Development and Institutional
Strengthening component will provide technical assistance to NGO boards
and secretariats to improve their capacity to provide effective leadership
and support services to facilitate change and development in the sector, and
to enable NGOs to plan and organize more efficiently and strategically .
The Management Training Courses for the NGO
component aim to provide management training to 25 staff members from NGO
boards and secretariats and 225 NGO volunteers so that they are better able
to manage their organizations and deliver services more effectively.
The Information and Documentation Centre which is located at the
CVSS Secretariat will be further developed so that it will better serve as a
repository of information for CVSS’ members and non-members.
