Our specialised initiatives
MEA NGOs Sustainability Hub
Stronger organisations. Stronger community sustainability solutions.
MEA NGOs Sustainability Hub brings institutional sustainability and community impact together. We work with civil society organisations and their partners to strengthen governance, organisational resilience, environmental practice and evidence of results, while expanding their capacity to shape and deliver locally grounded sustainability and climate solutions.
The challenge
Civil society organisations operate at the intersection of community needs, financing requirements and complex implementation conditions. Organisational capacity and sustainable operations matter, but so does the ability to build community-led interventions that respond to local priorities and demonstrate results.
Where we focus
Institutional sustainability and resilience.
Strengthen the foundations for effective governance, diversified resources, risk management and organisational continuity.
Environmental and climate integration.
Support practical environmental improvement within organisations and stronger integration of sustainability and climate considerations into their work.
Community-led solutions and impact.
Bring community knowledge into programme design, implementation and learning, with clear outcomes and useful evidence of change.
