NGO Self-Paced Courses
NGOs are instrumental in filling the voids left by governmental and business entities. They deliver aid in times of humanitarian crises, champion the cause of human rights, stand up for social equity, and launch initiatives that tackle pressing socio-economic issues.
Unfortunately, NGOs face a myriad of challenges that deters them from achieving these goals. One major challenge is the limited technical knowledge and capacity of staff and stakeholders to design, fundraise, implement, monitor and evaluate development projects.
Our NGO courses are designed to help employees and professionals (and anyone involved directly or indirectly in NGO or development work) bridge these knowledge and skills gaps.
