The team from the Integrated Center for Sustainable Development Studies and Programs (CIEDS), the Renova Foundation’s partner in the project, will reach out to selected institutions. In case of withdrawal, those on the waiting list may be called. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, activities will take place online between May and December this year. Participating organizations will receive a contribution of R$ 5,000 to develop actions of the projects prepared during the training.
The initiative will offer technical support with specific knowledge about the third sector, providing opportunities for in-depth technical knowledge, networking, recognition of territory and insertion of the network concept. The project seeks to strengthen institutions and groups so that they are able to identify, mobilize, raise funds, work in a network and carry out actions for community development.
