Coaching for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs)

SNV Netherlands Development Organisation

SNV is an international not-for-profit development organisation, funded from
public and private sources, working in 38 countries in Africa, Asia, and
Latin America. SNV specializes in supporting the resourcefulness of
development actors by developing local capacities, improving performance and
services, strengthening governance systems, helping to create access for
excluded groups and by making markets work for the poor. Our global team of
advisors use their specialist sector and change expertise in Agriculture,
Renewable Energy and WASH to facilitate sustainable change in the
livelihoods of millions of people living in poverty.

Voice for Change Partnerships Programme

To enable CSOs to effectively voice alternative or dissenting views in a
dynamic and increasingly global context, the Dutch Ministry of the Foreign
Affairs (DGIS) set up a policy framework focusing on strengthening CSOs’
capacity for ‘lobbying and advocacy’. This role is essential for holding
policymakers and companies to account, and a way for CSOs to contribute to
inclusive growth and development and help reduce inequality.

This five-year project, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(DGIS), aims at strengthening capacities of CSOs to advocate for a conducive
enabling environment in WASH, Renewable Energy, Food and Nutrition Security,
and Resilience. For Food and Nutrition Security, and Resilience, SNV is
partnering with the International Food Policy and Research Institute
(IFPRI). Implementation takes place in six countries (Kenya, Rwanda,
Burkina Faso, Ghana, Honduras and Indonesia) as well as at the global level.

Project Approach

The main areas of intervention in each of the sectors are

1) Strengthening of CSO capacities: Participating CSOs will join a
capacity development program that strengthens their capabilities in the
field of leadership, use of evidence, thematic knowledge, advocacy and
business development.

2) Evidence creation and dissemination

CSOs will be encouraged and capacitated in making use of evidence and data
by contextualising results of research, availing knowledge products and
facilitating access to on-line platforms and alliances.

3) Support to advocacy plans and activities of CSOs

CSOs will be supported in the design and implementation of advocacy plans.
Design of these plans will take place during the above-mentioned capacity
development trajectory. CSOs will benefit from support of SNV and
knowledge/research institutes such as IFPRI for Food and Nutrition security
and Resilience.
