European toolkit for organisational development of youth organisations
We believe that capacity building/ organisational development should stand at the core of any youth NGO. Thus, we propose a toolkit with instruments that can be used to enhance areas in which the organisation is less effective or wants to improve.
Aims of the tool
The main purpose of the toolkit is to offer youth organisations in Europe the possibility to make an assessment of their current practices related to organisational development and to implement changes based on the assessment, wherever changes are needed/ necessary.
Description of the tool
Through this toolkit we propose a series of instruments that can help your organisation to better approach organisational development in certain areas of intervention.
The toolkit integrates a self-assessment matrix for organisational development, which members/ staff/ volunteers of the organisation can apply in order to have an overview of the current practices and their effectiveness. The matrix is divided in 10 indicators - Governance, Financial aspects, Knowledge management, Monitoring & evaluation, Organisational structure, Leadership, Human resource management, Beneficiary involvement (young people with fewer opportunities), Advocacy and External communication.
Each of the indicators has a specific chapter inside the toolkit, where there can be found information and instruments related to each domain. The toolkit includes a plan/ instruments on how to do strategic planning for the organisation.
Main outcome after implementing the tools is a better / more functional organisation, capable of addressing the needs of its beneficiaries and prepared to change/ adapt to current situations/ contexts.
