YDN’s Core Sector Scope of Work:
YDN focused on institutional building for NGOs program designed to support NGOs and develop effective and well-managed organizations that best use their human and financial resources to maintain business sustainability.
With a great focus on delivering successful strategies, emerging tools, and specific skills and tactics necessary to build the capacity of NGOs, the program aims to empower the organizations to better perform internally and towards the community they serve.
YDN worked to help many organisations that working on change and cohesion face organisational challenges related to their identity and governance, internal structure and funding.
In addition, YDN believe that most of NGOs actors need to have the ability to understand the operational context, interpret it and anticipate major changes in order to adapt and innovate when current practice fails to achieve intended results. So YDN worked to develop NGOs institutional building program and focused on the challenges which are essential for organisations to manage their change, growth and learning processes and effectively deliver on their work mission in a sustainable way.
Since 2003, YDN has conducted more than 100 training programs according to NGOs’ needs and gaps. More than 3,196 trainees of NGOs employees and volunteers (males and females) representing more than 500 organizations have benefited.
