Maysan NGO Capacity Building Project
(MNCB)
Project Start Date: August 2008
The Goal of the Maysan NGOs Capacity Building (MNCB) project is to promote the growth and effectiveness of civil society organizations in the Maysan province so they can ensure that the interests of citizens are weighed by public institutions that make policy and allocate resources.
To achieve this goal, IF will organize four workshops (two in Northern Iraq and two others in the South) to build the capacity of ten pre-selected independent NGOs from the Maysan governorate through training in concepts and practices that strengthen civil society institutions and expand their impact, including: organizational governance and leadership, organizational management, financial management, , organizational mission and values formulation, strategic planning, outreach to community and stakeholders, networking, advocacy, project design, project implementation, management, and monitoring,.
The project has 2 objectives:
- Increasing institutional capacity and viability of Maysan NGOs
- Improving the NGOs’ capacity to implement projects effectively, have an impact in their community and better represent citizens’ interests.
To achieve objective one, IF will train the 10 pre-selected NGOs in:
Organizational governance and management, leadership skills, mission formulation, strategic planning and community outreach.
To achieve objective two, IF will train the same 10 NGOs in:
Project planning, project implementation, proposal writing, networking, advocacy and communication with stakeholders.
The anticipated outcome of the project is to develop a politically active civil society in the Maysan province with the necessary tools to effectively deliver programs and services and improve the lives of their communities.
