The Praxis Programme is about enabling civil society organisations to become more effective by linking theory and practice - researchers and practitioners - in the field of organisational capacity building. It is about giving practitioners with hands-on experience in different cultures and contexts an opportunity to share the solutions they develop in the course of their work.
The first phase of the programme ran from 2003 to 2007 with funding from the Dutch foreign ministry. This phase explored different dimensions of capacity building such as organisational development, leadership and cross-cultural management. Read more about the previous thematic areas
