Introduction

The PCM for Syria includes a (modest) budget for capacity building activities for DRA members and local partners. The topic of ‘fundraising’ was chosen as topic for capacity building. With this questionnaire we want to gain insight into what capacity building topics and activities are most relevant for PCM members and partners. Based on the outcome of this, a ToR and concrete plan for capacity development will be made and capacity development activities will be implemented in the months to come.

This survey should take about 20 minutes to complete.

The deadline for completing this survey is June 6.
