NGO IT BOOSTER

What is the idea behind this PDA?

Most of NGOs in their first years of operation are “one-man-bands” or at least small bands :) trying to do it all and make a difference in communities but they lack digital skills! Usually, these training are quite expensive which is another obstacle that we can not overcome easy.

Are you:

• trying to develop own capacities while establishing themselves in communities, connecting with target audiences, raising visibility among stakeholders on local, regional and national level are challenging tasks in first years and almost impossible to handle on the level that we as NGOs desire
• face different issue connected with fluctuation of human resources because they are usually led by young people. So, when a person leaves, a lot of great ideas and knowledge goes with them and we are back at the begining!
• your NGO is growing so big that we do not have time to train new people and use their creative potential for their own and NGO benefit and they dont feel they can grow within NGO.
• you are small NGOs, or even in rural areas facing challenges of not having enough reach or visibility among target group, resources and people are scarce and we need to maximize both

AIM
