FSDs programs provide multi-faceted support to our global NGO Partners.On-site workshops led by FSD Field-Staff train our NGO partners to create economically and environmentally sustainable programs through community assessments, grant proposal development, project design and management, financial management, and monitoring and evaluation. We also connect our partners to experts and other local resources. Our asset-based approach to capacity building leverages local resources before looking to external inputs, emphasizes potentials rather than problems, and favors skill building over large financial awards.FSD's Grantmaking Program supports community-driven projects and capacity building initiatives for our NGO Partners in the sectors of Child and Maternal Health, Gender Equality, Human Rights, Environmental Sustainability, Microenterprise, Microfinance,
