Capacity building and sustainability

A strong team, active members, stable partnerships and a sustainable organization that protects workers' rights in the long term.

About the program

Long-term protection of workers' rights requires a strong, professional and sustainable organization.

The program connects human capacities with organizational development, partnerships, volunteerism and diversification of sources of support.
