Operational, Strategic, Accompanied, from the Institutional to the Grassroots level
Organisational Development, Coaching, 24/7 Support
Our support also goes far beyond simply training. We have worked with a wide range of movements, institutions and organisations to help them build and develop their organisation, including support for strategic planning, institutional development, and assistance (guidance, coaching, training). Importantly, a major challenge many organisations and movements face is how badly structured they are – that the way the work itself becomes a hindrance and doesn’t support what they are working for. This is an area we’ve engaged in extensively, from early support to the Popular Committees in Palestine to working with organisations inside Syria all the way to assisting the Commonwealth Secretariat over 3 years to restructure and improve their good offices and mediation. In addition, we also provide long-term coaching and support – both one-on-one (to individuals) and to organisations, both in person when in their communities/countries but also ‘at a distance’ over skype, WhatsApp, Viber, e-mail – staying in regular contact and being available to help, listen, and work with them through issues and challenges they may face.
