Job Description

About the Project:

Over the years, VSS has been committed to supporting Indian CSOs, from grassroots level organizations to nation-wide networks, enabling them to make a significant impact in rural and vulnerable communities. With support from the EU and the WHH, VSS has facilitated extensive capacity building measures for civil society actors at various levels, on promoting community development, constructive dialogues with the governmental entities, and advocating for rights over natural resources as CSOs face multiple constraints such as negative perception about their internal governance as well as declining foreign funding, increasing regulatory and compliance requirements, projectized funding hampering innovation and institution – building, donor shift to technical/specialized and larger CSOs for scaling (rather than grassroots CSOs following an integrated approach to development), lack of means to invest in, adapt to digital/IT technologies, and the emergence of new and complex funding mechanisms.

The project is aimed in establishing a dynamic support system based on integrated collaboration to address the CSOs constraints and needs, enhancing governance, programming, advocacy, and fundraising. The ecosystem will help build more synergies with CSO networks working in thematic areas and donors for effective knowledge management and improved partnerships. The project will be implemented by three partners FMSF, SSK and VSS supported by WHH.

The objective of this project is to build the capacity of CSOs in strategic communication so that they can build their perspective and achieve the goals of the organization.
