Post-Internship Projects

Tips on Research and Reporting for Civil Society Organizations

Malaisie

This project will present our work with Sinar Project by detailing the two main spheres of our internship; first, how to conduct research and second, how to manage a project.

As project agents, we were assigned management and administrative tasks. We learned how to effectively coordinate, research, execute, communicate and report within the context of non-profit organizing. This document is a compilation of insights, templates and supportive resources for NGO program management.

It intends to support best practices and effective management for civil society organizing. The booklet comprises of educational and instructional material on research and programme management, specific to the non-profit sector context.

This practical guide should prove particularly useful for organizations who are just starting out, as it contains introductory information and best practices on how to apply for funding, how to effectively plan and monitor projects, and how to report on programs. In addition, organizations with more experience can use this guide to improve pre-existing practices, and to gain new insights on sector-specific research methods.

In particular, we introduce a tool for researching the “digital gender gap”, intended to develop evidence and monitor country progress towards closing the gender divide in internet and information technology usage.
