CIVIL SOCIETY AND GOVERNANCE

Small grants and peer mentoring

A £60,000 fund was launched in March 2010 so that each of the 10 participating CSOs can receive a small grant to address a specific priority organisational development need, in areas where it is often difficult to secure project funding (e.g. strategic planning, study or exchange visits, training workshops). Where participating CSOs have capacity that they can share with others, this fund can also support peer mentoring among the participating CSOs to support capacity building by each organisation. This will also enhance relationships among CSOs in the Caribbean UKOTs.
