Summary of project results
One of the ongoing challenges that ELIZA faced was securing the elements that would lead to its long-term viability. The implementation of the project contributed to this goal, as:
Rational use of resources was achieved, creating long-term value, and allowing the organization to meet its financial obligations without requiring drastic measures to change its capital and operational structure.
A balance of needs was achieved, balancing income and expenses.
The organisation increased the impact of its work, expanded its collaborations, and in this way, was able to give back to local communities through prevention and early intervention actions.
Administrative processes were improved, and the experience and skills of all those involved in the actions increased, thus enhancing the performance of staff and scientific collaborators.
The Organisational Grants focused on supporting the strategic development and capacity building of civil society organizations (CSOs) rather than requiring traditional activities, deliverables, or outputs. The call emphasised the internal growth and sustainability of CSOs by investing in their core operational functions, leadership, and long-term vision.
