The ‘Civil Society Organization Capacity Development’ project works with a wide range of CSOs and grassroots organisations across the Eastern Partnership region and Eurasia. This includes organisations involved in human rights, gender equality (including women’s and LGBTQ rights), environmental issues and supporting at-risk groups and young people.
The project focuses on tailored, in-house capacity development for CSOs. Selected organisations are receiving support including but not limited to: individual consultancy such as in communications, organisation and management; training workshops; facilitated sessions for strategic planning; and strategy revision mentoring.
Alongside this individual support we are providing a range of grants open to all CSOs across the target region to support campaigning and advocacy activities; grassroots events; knowledge sharing and exchange; and anti-burnout support.
