capacity development for civil society organisations

Entwicklungsprozesse in Organisationen der Jugendarbeit

Although the study was completed early, there was considerable evidence that the capacity development element of the Youth Sector Development Fund (YSDF) was leading to positive improvements and impacts for the participating civil society organisations (CSOs). While many considered that YSDF had accelerated development plans that were likely to have been achieved anyway, there were also examples amongst the case study CSOs of entirely new capacity development, for example around new business models, which was unlikely to have resulted in its absence. In addition, examples were identified amongst the case studies where the range of support available had exceeded initial expectations, and led to some CSOs broadening their ambitions in terms of capacity enhancement.

The evaluation methodology included the review of programme documentation and management information (MI); case study fieldwork with 15 Round 2 and Round 3 CSOs; and interviews with Managing Body representatives and a range of national stakeholders. The evaluation was intended to run between January 2009 and the programme end in March 2011, although the decision was taken to complete the study early in October 2010.
