In 2012-13, Asia Catalyst will offer 10 NGOs working in the area of health rights the opportunity to receive training and provide mutual support through our NGO Leadership Cohort. The cohort is a one-year capacity-building program aimed at improving organizations’ organizational management skills through a series of four weekend workshops, peer support and individualized coaching. The cohort is open to organizations working in the field of health rights, including groups working on such issues as:
HIV/AIDS affected communities
|
Hepatitis and other infectious diseases
|
Women’s and children’s health
|
Environmental health and pollution
|
Disabled persons’ health
|
Occupational health
|
Other issues relating to the right to health
|
The cohort program will include four intensive weekend workshops over the course of one year.
Between each workshop, participants will complete homework assignments and will receive support from other workshop participants, as well as coaching by Asia Catalyst staff. In addition, several participants from the first year of the NGO Leadership Cohort will serve as assistant trainers during the 2012-2013 program. Travel expenses will be covered by Asia Catalyst. At the end of the year, some participants may have the option to participate in the cohort program for a second year in order to become certified as cohort trainers themselves
