The Asian Development Bank organizes courses for employees of the MISD of the Republic of Kazakhstan and CSCI

The Ministry of Information and Social Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Center for Support of Civil Initiatives and the Asian Development Bank signed an agreement on mutual cooperation to conduct training courses aimed at increasing the potential of employees in the field of support for the development of Kazakhstani NGOs.

Courses will be organized on project management, financial management, monitoring and evaluation of social projects, fundraising, as well as training for trainers from among the employees of the Ministry and the Center. They will be held within the framework of the technical task for the implementation of the project to increase human resources in the field of grant and project management, including to improve the professionalism of Kazakhstani NGOs. 

International courses will help both optimize the mechanism of grant financing and create favorable conditions for the development of the country's civil sector. 

"Courses on project management, monitoring and evaluation of social projects will allow the Center's employees to facilitate the workflow and reduce the time spent on collecting and analyzing big data, increase understanding of working with social projects and methods of monitoring grant funds. The basics of financial accounting will strengthen the skills of employees in the field of financial management and monitoring of grant funds, increase the efficiency of grant funds management. During the fundraising training, the staff of the Center will learn about the tools for attracting international donor funds for NGO social projects. Moreover, according to the results of the courses, 10 employees of the Center will be involved in the organization of advanced training courses for our grantees. We aim to ensure the sustainability of NGOs after the grant is implemented. This, in turn, will make it possible not to close the acquired knowledge and skills," said Lima Diaz. 

It should be noted that the implementation of this project is funded by the ADB and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
