Description
The third sector future group project started by NENO last year has revealed that a greater number of NGOs need more extensive counselling than originally planned. In particular, the support is expected in the implementation of the recommendations in the daily work and planning of NGOs, and enhancing the communication with their interest groups. The main purpose of the project is to develop an effective system of advice and methodology for using future trends in NGOs work and planning. On the basis of experience and input obtained from the NENO's development program for NGOs and future group project, the relevant methodology and tools will be developed and tested in practice. Five NGOs will get mentorship and will introduce the activity recommendations into their action plans and start to put those recommendations into practice.
Summary of project results
The main purpose of the project - to design an effective mentorship program and develop a relevant methodology - was completed. Five NGOs participated in the mentorship programme, included recommendations of future reports (selected jointly by the NGO and its mentor) in their action plans and have begun to implement them. More specific development needs of each participant were also determined and the intended objectives were defined. During the project, one participant had to be replaced, but this did not affect the overall progress of the project and the fulfillment of the intended objectives. In addition, satisfaction of the participants with the joint events and with the work of mentors was evaluated.
