Lack of resources to build capacity of civil society organizations forces organizations to focus on their survival and diverts them from pursuing strategic changes in their activities to ensure their long-term development. The program in this area enabled organizations to improve their skills, strengthen their competencies, implement higher-level governance, and implement modern sustainability strategies. The ACF also supported projects to improve the environment for the development of civil society.
Under the Outcome Enhanced capacity and sustainability of civil society 23 projects were supported.
