Description
In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, NGOs, especially those activating in social area, are facing a difficult situation: the demand for social services increased substantially, the available resources are diminishing due to economic crisis, while the economic and social environment is more and more unpredictable. Under the pressure of responding to varied and urgent needs of their beneficiaries, the NGOs are often focusing all their needs and resources towards the services they provide, while neglecting the internal process, respectively those efforts targeting the capacity of the organization.
The project will develop the capacity of Filantropia Federation (as a support structure) and of 5 member NGOs, providers of social services, to become sustainable and to have a strong impact in the communities they serve. Along a period of 24 months, the selected organizations will benefit of participatory in depth assessment of capacity building needs, coaching and mentoring in the areas of governance, management, public communication and financial sustainability; exchange of experience in the field of organizational development.
The outcomes of the project will be documented by the 5 targeted NGOs and the Filantropia Federation, providing an understanding of the organisational experience as a process of consolidating the sustainability, organisational learning and adaptation to a changing environment. 5 NGOs will be better prepared to adapt to the economic, social and medical context. Filantropia Federation will enhance its capacity to provide direct and long term support to other less experienced nongovernmental organizations, at national level, by developing a structured program of capacity building.
The projects is implemented in partnership with Alternative Sociale Association and CBNRM Networking from Norway.
