Priority Region:
Iraqi Kurdistan Region, with particular emphasis on civil society organizations headquartered in Sheikhan, Halabja governorate, and Kirkuk governate.

In order to ensure the long-term viability of Iraqi Kurdish civil society, many of these organizations need additional training in fields including:
(1) management & leadership skills; (2) donor development & grant writing; (3) budgeting and project management; (4) external communications; (5) and strategic planning.
Participants and Audiences:
The chosen audience should focus on those described under “Priority Region.” The minimum number of participants shall be 2 0.
