This workshop will provide tools to strengthen internal financial capacities and the strategic challenges that civil society organizations in Central America face in achieving sustainability.

In this session, facilitators will explore financial sustainability as a crucial strategic capacity for civil society organizations to address the challenges of an adverse context. Through a series of exercises, we will analyze how factors such as the decline of international funding, restrictive legislation, and changes in the political environment impact sustainability.

Facilitators will focus on strategies for resource mobilization and financial management, including diversifying funding sources, building strategic alliances and effective communication to demonstrate the value of their work. We will also focus on the importance of medium-term financial planning and internal institutional strengthening, recognizing that sustainability is not only economic but also a political and collective issue that requires the support of the entire team.

Note: This room has capacity for approximately 20 participants. Attendees will be allowed into this workshop on a first-come-first-served basis. Due to the room size, this session will not include simultaneous interpretation.
