Training and Capacity Building Working Group

Developing Skills and Expertise

One of the main goals of the IOLN over the next three years is to enhance capacity and expertise of the IOLN Members through targeted training and skill development initiatives to ensure they have the critical mass, skills and knowledge necessary to achieve strategic goals.

Thanks to funding from Training Links (The Wheel), we are running a series of expert-led seminars and peer-to-peer best practice sessions on campaigns and advocacy, finance and funding, developing practical skills and evaluating and building impact are designed to strengthen and enhance skills in the community and voluntary sector.
