International agencies organize training programmes for individuals and organizations from developing countries for improving their skills and building their capacity in effectively addressing issues, managing projects, advocating for rights and replicating successes in their areas. Such programmes are golden opportunities for NGOs in low income countries as they not only help in increasing their knowledge but also build strong networking with like-minded institutions and open newer opportunities.
As part of our process to assist NGOs in seeking better resources, we have developed a list of upcoming training programmes organized by esteemed international agencies such as Sida (Swedish International Development Agency), MASHAV (Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation) and the NFP (Netherlands Fellowship Programme). Many of these programmes offer full or partial financial support to participate in these training programmes which are held internationally at different locations.
