Coaching for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) focusing on Business Development



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.
