GUIDELINES FOR NMO CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT

The WFH Guidelines for NMO Capacity Development (NMO CD Guidelines) were created to provide clear benchmarks and a framework for regular assessments to support NMOs in developing their capacities based on best practices in key organizational development areas. The guidelines offer a systematic and participatory approach to organizational capacity development based on a framework for capacity development. It also includes a self-assessment tool designed to help NMOs understand, measure, and improve their performance. This tool is used as a guide for capacity assessment and encourages the active participation of different groups within the NMO.
