Capacity Building Workshops
The rural, indigenous people that make up the majority of the Western Highlands region’s population face the greatest levels of poverty and social exclusion in Guatemala. As a result, hundreds of organisations have committed themselves to the development of their communities. However, the majority of these organisations are struggling to survive due to limited funds and resources, and require additional skills and training to manage their organisation, deliver effective programmes to the communities they serve, and make their organisation sustainable. The need for assistance to these organisations to help them build their capacity and effectiveness is imperative to the development of their organisations, communities and the country as a whole.
Due to the recent demonstrated need and requests for capacity-building, EntreMundos has begun to focus more in this area and has created a region-wide reputation for itself as a leading source for organisational development assistance. We have been providing regular capacity-building support to our partner organisations via monthly workshops and links to resources and other organisations, as well as individual consultations on topics such as volunteer management, fundraising, and project planning. These services are free of charge.
EntreMundos’ pivotal role within the NGO sector in the Western Highlands – its extensive contacts, relationships with organisations and development resources– gives us a unique advantage to continue addressing this urgent need for institutional capacity-building.
