Civil society organizations (CSOs) throughout Myanmar play an important role in the country’s development. The Shan State CSO Capacity Building project, funded by GIZ, builds on the experience and dedication of 12 local organizations from throughout the state to help develop strong organizational abilities, policies and systems.
Through training and coaching activities, MIID and partner Loka Ahlin lead the CSOs in the process of organizational development with a focus on building capacity for project design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation; communication skills with communities, government and private sector; strengthening administrative and financial systems; and developing long term strategies to achieve their missions.
