Global Mentoring Initiative

We exist to build a network of mentors who can accompany and empower civil society actors who provide robust and accountable response in emergencies and development to affected populations. We ensure a sufficient and sustainable pool of well-trained mentors who are able to support civil society actors through a holistic approach. We provide a platform as a key resource to connect civil society actors with mentors for durable collaboration and experience sharing. We facilitate knowledge sharing between mentors for forward learning and promoting best practice. The purpose of the Mentoring Programme is to promote professional learning, development, and opportunities to civil society worldwide by fostering an active and engaged community of mentors and mentees. The focus is to activate existing networks to connect a number of well-trained mentors and those civil society actors who need one to one support to strengthen and become well functioning and robust organisation being able to deliver on their commitment. We are a key resource to civil society actors who recognise and call on us as one of the key resources for the strategic development of their organisation.
