Description
Our project meets a need of the Romanian non-profit sector. At national level, small NGOs or NGOs without professional experience don’t have financial resources at their disposal and don’t benefit of the specific know-how in order to build their organizational capacity. According to the report called Romania 2017 – The Non-Profit Sector: profile, trends and challenges issued by CSDF(RO), when it comes to small organizations which have few employees and limited financial resources, they don’t have a strategy for organizational development or departments specialized in creating, implementing and monitoring their strategies. Small NGOs have only a survival strategy, while their main objective is to keep their presence on the market. In addition, the Barometer of the NGOs Leaders, issued by CSDF(RO), 2016 edition shows that 16 percent of the Romanian NGOs hadn’t use any tool for planning or organizational management. The South-East Oltenia Region, South-Muntenia Region and South-East Region have a relatively small number of NGOs, about 35 percent of all the NGOs active at national level. Plus, these regions have a relatively poor level of economic development (all these regions counted for about 3 percent (cumulated) to the total income of the NGOs active in Romania in 2015). Our project aims to increase the organizational capacity and the sustainability of 10 small or without professional experience NGOs which have a significant interest in supporting the local communities, by organizing 20 sessions of trainings adapted to their needs. Main activities: the development of some tools and working methodologies for the 10 NGOs, trainings on organizational development (NGO management, communication, financial, HR, sustainability, crisis management etc). Main results that will be achieved: a federation of small or without professional experience NGOs, a methodology for assessing the needs of NGOs, the development of an organizational toolkit, coaching and mentoring for NGOs.
