The training program is organized in an intensive one-week format and is intended for NGO managers and specialists. The content of the program is formed based on modern requirements and covers areas such as the legal framework and institutional development, project management, strategic communications, resource mobilization and social impact assessment.

Within the framework of the course, priority is given to a practical approach, where participants master the mechanisms for developing and implementing social projects, methods of effective cooperation with government agencies, business entities and international partners, as well as ways to increase the sustainability and efficiency of organizations.

The educational process is organized with the participation of leading experts from government agencies, think tanks and educational institutions. The program also pays special attention to the digitalization of the NGO sector and the use of innovative technologies in management.
