CIVICUS PROVIDES TOOLS FOR CAPACITY BUILDING
For many free expression organisations, knowing how to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of their work often ranks high on wish lists. So is knowing how to develop a funding strategy. Detailed information on how to implement these important activities, however, is rarely available for free.
CIVICUS, a global network of civil society organisations, has now made this information accessible through its website. It has produced a series of toolkits to help organisations improve capacity, covering areas like monitoring and evaluation; writing effective funding proposals; implementing financial controls and accountability; and working with the media.
Available on its website and on CD-ROM, the Civil Society Toolkits come in three languages - English, French and Spanish.
