Civil Society Strengthening
Civil society strengthening is an important part of Food for Peace programming. Objectives of this sector include increasing communities’ capacity to influence the factors that affect their food security and strengthening the financial, management and administrative capacity of community and implementing partner organizations. Civil society strengthening activities include training and technical assistance to bolster community-based groups’ and implementing partner organizations’ ability to: conduct food security assessments; plan, organize and implement food security-related activities; advocate for and manage resources; be accountable and responsive to a population’s concerns; and become active and influential participants in the decision-making process, beginning at the local level.
