About this grant
The Community Based Development Programme provides leadership and organizational development training to community-based organizations working in poor communities in South Africa. The training courses empower community-based organizations to participate meaningfully in local economic development initiatives designed to improve the lives of marginalized communities. Previous support enabled the grantee to provide organizational strengthening training to enhance the effectiveness of community-based organizations through its Community Empowerment for Development program. This grant will provide continued funding to train and support community-based organizations in existing communities and to identify community-based organizations that need similar training in other communities. It will also help build the Women in Social Empowerment program, which offers specific training to women working in small scale farming.
