Impact on Public Policies |
Through the following lines of action, Creas seeks to support the
institutional development of ecclesiastical, ecumenical and
community organizations, and to encourage the effectiveness of their
work, thus contributing to the promotion and realization of human
rights.
|
Institutional Strengthening
|
Build the capacities of the different bodies by
developing or reviewing their aims and strategies, the
definition or clarification of roles, their
institutional systems and policies, and the training or
consolidation of management and work teams. |
|
Project Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) |
Training relating to project development, on the basis
of a plan adapted to each body’s mission and relevant to
their context. Training should encompass systematic
monitoring and participatory evaluation mechanisms, and
include contributions for the Small Projects Fund (FPP)
that Creas has in Argentina, and for other FPPs in the
region. |
|
Resource Mobilization and Management |
Promote processes aimed to generate, diversify and
effectively manage resources, within the framework of
relationships of cooperation, transparency and mutual
accountabiblity. The goal is to provide a basis for the
feasibility and sustainability of projects and bodies. |
|
Visibility and Impact |
Support the different bodies in the development of their
internal and external communications, aimed to show the
image of a competent, credible organization to
facilitate its identification and recognition, and to
favor strategic alliances. In addition to increasing the
direct impact of their initiatives, this process seeks
to influence those who have power over public policies
pushing them to establish, strengthen or implement
policies that transform situations of poverty and
injustice. |
|
Networking and Cooperation |
Strengthen the ecumenical movement in each country and
throughout South America by encouraging Creas’
cooperation and its participation in joint initiatives. |
The annual activities established in CREAS programs are planned and
conducted after evaluating the program implemented the previous
year, and on the basis of the analysis of the situation in each
country and on this country’s needs. The activities are then agreed
upon with the leadership
in
each country.
