NGO policies, procedures and internal control
Programme · 2 days
A two-day programme for NGO directors and management teams preparing for an organisational capacity assessment or wanting to put their procedures in order. We cover the set of policies, internal control, risk management and the organisation’s development plan.
In short
NGO policies, procedures and internal control
The programme runs over 2 days and deals with how an NGO builds policies, procedures and internal control to meet donor requirements. We cover the organisational capacity assessment, financial and procurement policy, conflicts of interest, PSEA and safeguarding, the risk register and the development plan. We will announce the format and dates once a group is formed.

How pre-registration works
Leave a request in the form below. When a group is formed, we send the date, the hour-by-hour programme and the terms. Registering does not commit you to anything.
Questions
When will the training take place?
We will announce the date once a group is formed. Everyone registered hears first and gets the hour-by-hour programme.
Can you run the programme just for our organisation?
Yes. We adapt it to your projects and donors and agree the number of hours and the format separately.
How is this different from the free webinar on policies?
The webinar gives a 1.5-hour overview of policies. The two-day programme adds internal control, risk management and a development plan, with a review of participants’ documents.
