Dear Friends,
Greetings from FMSF!
We are pleased to inform you that the online programme on NPO Governance which began in 2012 has successfully graduated four batches, while the fifth batch is in progress. The registration for the sixth batch is open and interested participants can register.
NPOs are a noted component of civil society in the various fields of social development. The emergence of NGOs as formalized, structured institutions has been relatively recent. Further, with the introduction of CSR, the opportunity for the NGO sector has increased in terms of work, outreach, funding, sustainability etc. as most of the CSR activities are being administered through private NGOs. This has also resulted to the proliferation of NGOs which are often informally organized, unaudited, and operate with little governance. One of the areas on which the NGOs are assessed is its governance structure. Thus, governance is one of the key focus areas for an organization.
With this background, we wish to inform you that the NPO Governance Programme would provide an overview of the major issues involved in NGO Governance such as;
· Various Governance mechanism in NPOs
· Governance Structures & Processes
· Roles and Responsibilities of the Board Members
· Governance Controls required for an NPO
· Common myths and misconceptions in the Governance of NPOs
The course is web-based and comprises of four modules. The course materials on all four modules can be accessed online by the students. Further the program is open to participants across the globe.
Who should apply?
o Personnel working in mid-level, senior management level positions in NGOs, resource sharing
agencies or any other development organization
o CEOs, CFOs or Executive Director of NGOs
o Individual serving in Board of NGOs, resource sharing agencies
o Consultants involved in the review and evaluations of NGOs
