Opportunities to attend relevant training

The Capacity Building Consultant (CBC) will work with your organisation for 12 months.  This includes gathering evidence of your organisation’s existing capacity based on the above 9 key areas.

This will involve reviewing your current policies and procedures, attending staff and board meetings, meeting with management and key staff**.  We use a diagnostic toolkit to provide an analysis of your organisation.

Once the initial analysis is complete the CBC will produce a report with recommendations for improvement.

From the report, an action plan will be produced and agreed in conjunction with your organisation.  The action plan will be implemented during the remainder of the 12-months with support from the CBC.

Various training sessions** will also be available based on need.  This could include training in business planning, good governance, digital technologies and income generation.
