Environmental policy and administrative management

During realization of the first stage of the project a number of difficulties which NGOs collide with in the process of realization of different activities have been revealed. 1) NGOs leaders have a poor understanding of what monitoring is, what it is necessary for, and how monitoring results can be used in the NGOs activity. Besides, there is a lack of accessible methodical literature in Russian and in Kazakh. 2) NGOs don`t successfully involve resources into the projects, they are not able to develop evident presentation materials and arrange success information campaign and to draw attention of journalists. 3) NGO leaders don`t possess sufficient skills for management of the personnel. Director very often solves fine questions of the project, forgetting about development of organization. Besides members of NGOs completely forget about opportunity to attract volunteers into the work. Activity of the second stage of the project assumes the following activities: 1. Institutional capacity bulding of NGOs- partners of the SGP 2. Development of social activities of local population through propagation of ecological knowledge. 3. Monitoring and evaluation of the SGP on-going projects, and assisting SGP partners in project monitoring arrangements. 4. Information distribution about the SGP projects activity. 5. Rendering legal advice support to NGOs 6. Consulting NGOs in strenthening PR and resource mobilization activities.
