CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMS
We are in the process of designing capacity building programs for our fellows for their individual as-well-as organizational development as per their vision, values and principles.
In addition, as our present focus area is Sustainability and Climate Change, we are committed to deepen our fellows' understanding of the field while they continue to do their work with the communities.
