About this project
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">The PDP is designed to provide additional, targeted support to project applicants and promoters, in order to ensure more effective outreach of the ACF to CSOs in under-served geographic areas and among disadvantaged groups. The PDP will provide support to enable them to achieve a higher quality of implementation of projects, to facilitate know-how exchange among the project promoters, and to encourage interconnection between the project promoters and other organizations.<br> The project responds to lack of capacity building training addressing the needs of CSOs from under-served target groups and regions, accessible both in terms of the distance and participation fees. By it focus, PDP3 complements to objectives of the Outcome 5 Enhanced capacity and sustainability of civil society.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">The target groups to large extent correspond with the segments of CSOs which are likely project promoters of the ACF:</span></span></p> <ol> <li style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif"><strong>CSOs implementing projects whose objectives include income generation, diversification of funding sources and self-financing </strong>, particular focus on those working in under-served regions</span></span></li> <li style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif"><strong>CSOs active in the field of advocacy </strong></span></span></li> <li style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif"><strong>Smaller and less developed CSOs operating in under-served regions</strong></span></span></li> </ol> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif"><span style="color: #000000">The main activities:</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #000000"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">Activity 1</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">, responsible Ekopolis:</span></span></span></p> <ul> <li>Three trainings in various regions for a total of 40 participants representing around 20 CSOs.</li> <li><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">One nationwide seminar on self-financing for 40 participants from CSOs.</span></span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">Five coaching processes in self-financing for five CSOs.</span></span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">Ongoing support to project promoters (personal, per phone and email) for the whole period of project implementation.</span></span></span></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #000000"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">Activity 2</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">, responsible <strong>OSF</strong>:</span></span></span></p> <ul> <li>A ‘Capacity Accelerator” that shall include: three workshops for CSOs working on advocacy for a total of 30 participants representing around 10 CSOs; and four individual action development plans for four different CSOs.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #000000"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">Activity 3</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">, responsible <strong>CF</strong>: </span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">8 trainings organised in under-served regions for around 100 individuals representing 50 CSOs.</span></span></span></p>
