As NGOs are playing a more prominent role in economic and sustainable development, there is a growing need for specialized institutes to train professionals with adequate knowledge and experience to work in the field of development.

The project will provide a 12-months theoretical and on-the-job training for 85 persons to work at different managerial levels within NGOs. Several NGOs have nominated volunteers within their organization to undergo this course.
