French Embassy Supports Training for CSOs in Ghana
Ghana, Accra – 13 staff of 5 civil society organizations (CSOs) in Ghana will take part in a five day training on Monitoring and Evaluation and Grants Management from 5 – 7 and 8 – 9 November 2012 respectively. These two trainings, supported by the Embassy of France in Ghana, will be organized by the West Africa Civil Society Institute in Accra.
These trainings, have been organized to strengthen the grants management competencies of participants, to enable their organizations effectively manage the grants received from the French Embassy in Ghana under the embassy’s Fund for Social Development project. It also seeks to equip them with robust skills to better monitor and evaluate the projects they will be implementing to achieve better results.
According to Mr. Charles Kojo Vandyck, Capacity Building Officer of WACSI, “these two trainings will serve as a learning and sharing platform for the participants. They will be provided with requisite knowledge to promote efficiency in the management of project grants provided by the French Embassy”.
Four months after the training, WACSI will provide beneficiary organizations with technical advice to support their project management operations for projects specifically supported by the French Embassy. This is to ensure that the knowledge and skills acquired from these trainings are effectively utilized to achieve better results that would contribute to enhance social development in Ghana.
The organizations that have benefited from this grant and the capacity development scheme provided by WACSI with the support of the French Embassy in Ghana include Global Mamas (Ningo – Prampram, Greater Accra Region); Hunger Alliance of Ghana (Accra, Greater Accra); Center for Alternative Development (Tongo, Upper East Region); Children we Care Foundation (New Tafo, Eastern Region) and the Foundation for Information and Strategic Development (Sandema, Upper East Region).
Every year, the French government supports small and medium-scale development projects in Ghana by providing financial support to community based civil society organisations with its special program “Fund for Social Development”.
WACSI, a leading capacity building Institute in West Africa that serves civil society by providing them with requisite skills to promote professionalism within the sector organizes such trainings to continuously strengthen CSOs in West Africa. The Institute has conducted trainings that have benefitted CSOs from 14 West African States.
