Capacity Building

The five key objectives of our current capacity building programme include:

         1.  Development of sub-regional Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) partnerships and advocating for these on a regional level.

• Working with existing regional partnerships throughout the region.
• Working with key agencies and individuals to help develop the BME Voluntary and Community Sector.

         2.  Providing support to sub-regional partnerships and engaging with initiatives in these areas.

         3.  Co-ordination and provision of capacity building, training and development support.

• Identify partners in the delivery of capacity building support, including Funding, Capacity Building, Organisational Development & Support.

         4.  Developing effective communication and practical links between BME Organisations and other strategic bodies in the region.

• Arrange sub-regional events and promote a regional agenda.

         5.  Ensuring that all sub-regional initiatives are inclusive of BME involvement.

• Work with mainstream regional and sub-regional organisations to ensure that their capacity building support is appropriate to BME communities and organisations.
