NGO Sector Strengthening Program
The NGO Sector Strengthening Program is a follow-on to USAID's Matching
Grant Program, which helped strengthen U.S. PVOs and their in-country partners.
The program aims to help local indigenous non-governmental organizations (NGOs),
networks, and intermediate service organizations (ISOs) become more efficient
and effective in the delivery of development services.
USAID's experience in building capacity of individual PVOs and networks over
the past 10 years provides insights into effective interventions and approaches.
However, unlike programs that focus on strengthening single NGOs, this
program seeks to address the NGO sector more broadly. The organizations
this program seeks to improve are service delivery organizations that have
constituencies at the local level and the networks and ISOs that strengthen
and link these NGOs to a broad array of partners. This more comprehensive view
of NGO strengthening includes:
- Assessing NGO constraints and opportunities within the country(ies), region(s),
and the sector(s) where the applicant proposes to operate;
- Selecting those organizations that will have the most impact on the local
NGO sector; and,
- Identifying the interventions that are cost-effective and sustainable.
