Description

With activities ongoing in eight countries of the Western Balkans, as well as Turkey, Technical Assistance for Civil Society Organisations, or TACSO, is providing support and opportunities for the development of a strong and influential Civil Society sector. This investment in Civil Society is based upon our conviction that in the context of EU affiliation ongoing political, economic and social processes require an engaged and well-functioning Civil Society as an important precondition for democratic developments.
An important project component of TACSO is the Capacity Development of CSOs, with the main objective being to increase the capacity of CSO representatives in a number of key areas by offering them new knowledge on contemporary methodologies and techniques, as well as the opportunity for exchange and practical knowledge. During the spring of 2010 TACSO implemented five Regional Training Programs targeting experienced and well-established CSOs and their representatives. Following the successful completion of these Training Programs and in order to further strengthen the capacities of CSOs, TACSO has decided to develop five manuals as follows:

    - Fundraising and Accessing EU Funds;
    - Civil Society Organisation Management - Practical Tools for Organisational Development Analysis;
    - Developing and Managing EU Funded Projects;
    - Advocacy and Policy Influencing for Social Change;
    - Citizens’ Participation in the Decision-Making Processes.

These manuals are intended to be a resource for CSOs as well as the trainers conducting trainings within the abovementioned topics. The manuals will also serve as a resource material for the development of the TACSO E-learning Courses in the future. The aim of the present manual, entitled Civil Society Organisation Management - Practical Tools for Organisational Development Analysis, is to increase the internal capacities of CSOs for more effective action.
