Description

Do you work for an NGO in a challenged context? Do you want to advance your organization by improving your internal and managerial capacities or increase your effectiveness in advocacy and communication with external environments? Apply for the 3 rd Annual NGO Leadership Workshop and join us! 

The objective of the Workshop is to empower selected civil society representatives to strengthen their internal expertise, managerial and income generating capacities, abilities to engage with both general public and government stakeholders and assist in networking with international linkages. Particular focus will be on the civil society organization (CSO) representatives advancing democratic accountability and rule of law in their home countries. The Workshop is structured around presentations by distinguished experts and followup interactive small group discussions and Q&A sessions.

The NGO Leadership Workshop brings together the unique advantages of the National Endowment for Democracy and two organizations at the University of Michigan, both focused on strengthening democratic accountability, as well as the local insight of the Slovak-based NGO, and Pontis Foundation, which works to support democratization and the development of civil society. The Workshop is organized by the National Endowment for Democracy, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia at the University of Michigan (WCEE), the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan (WDI), and the Pontis Foundation
