CIVICUS Civil Society Toolkits
CIVICUS aims to help civil society organisations to build their capacity and achieve their goals. Based on requests from members, CIVICUS has produced several toolkits to enable organisations to improve their capacity in a number of areas. From communications and planning skills to writing funding proposals, we hope that you will be able to get many useful tips, tools, and ideas to help strengthen your organisation.
The following toolkits are available in English, French, Spanish and Russian in MS Word and PDF formats.
CIVICUS has also compiled a large collection of Civil Society capacity building toolkits and resources.
All toolkits are available free of charge unless otherwise noted. Comments or feedback on these toolkits can be sent to communications@civicus.org
