IF Works to Build NGO Capacity in Nassyria, Basra, and Maysan
 
In addition to following-up on last month's training and capacity building workshop, IF staff conducted field visits throughout the Basra and Nassyria provinces to identify organizations that would benefit from our NGO Capacity Building Project, launched last August. IF successfully held its first workshop for ten Maysan-based NGOs in Sulaimaniya from November 15 to November 20, 2008. In addition to the NGOs identified and trained in Maysan, IF is working to identify five organizations from the Nassyria province as well as five from the Basra province. These organizations will represent diverse missions and sector interest, as well as the services they provide to their communities and they will receive comprehensive capacity training.
