Capacity Building of CSO/ NGO Partners
For better implementation of social and development initiatives, corporates are required to focus on capacity building of their partner NGOs. As part of their CSR obligations, corporates should increasingly invest in building capacity of implementation agencies that includes training in better leadership and managerial skills.
Capacity building activities can include-
- Designing training modules for NGOs
- Budget allocation to enhance potential through skill and self- development programmes
- Provide support in tech handling and management activities.
- Investing in NGOs to help them better innovate and sustain in future.
- Providing sustained mentorship and support.
- Sharing of relevant skills through employee volunteering activities.
Capacity building initiatives will not only lead to CSR compliance but also reap socio-economic dividends to organization, community and society at large. This will help in effective implementation of development programmes and ensure maximum SROI to the organisation.
