Capacity-building of organisations in low-income countries
ADRA Slovakia is involved in the EU Aid Volunteers initiative, which trains and deploys European volunteers to low-income countries. In order to join the initiative, our partner organisations in low-income countries must obtain certification, which is preceded by comprehensive training and the development of extensive internal documents. ADRA Slovakia in the XCHANGE project (Exchange of Good Practices and Cooperation in Humanitarian Action to Generate Engagement) provides technical assistance and trainings to ensure that the partner organisations successfully pass the assessment of the certification committee. Once certified, the organisation is fully competent to mentor volunteers in the field, coordinate their work or ensure their safety.
