Abstract

In spite of their potential to launch locally-relevant programmes, national civil society organisations (CSOs) in developing countries are overshadowed by their international counterparts which receive the largest portions of donor funding available in developing countries. The preference of donors to channel funds through international CSOs is largely attributed to the lack of institutional and technical capacity of local CSOs to implement large-scale development programmes. A number of initiatives have been launched to respond to this challenge. Some of these initiatives include the issuing of capacity-building grants, development of capacity-building toolkits and implementation of capacity-building programmes such as training and mentorship as well as technical assistance. Most of these capacity-building programmes have not yielded the desired results.
