Manama, Bahrain: AIESEC in Bahrain have been awarded a grant to conduct a capacity building project for 8 NGOs in Bahrain.

Among NGOs Participating is Rakaez Social Society, AlMutalaq Women Society, Bahrain Alwani Society, Bahrain Autistics Society, Fares AlFursan Center, Bahrain Food Bank, Bahrain Association of Parents and Friends of Disabled which with an aim to enhance their capacity building. “The NGOs were selected on their needs and concentrated on those groups that lacked the basic infrastructure in terms of tracking funds, HR capacity, reporting systems of their activities, and impact measurement” says Ahmed Shabbir, AIESEC in Bahrain’s Managing Director.
AIESEC is a global youth-run organization with a main focus on youth leadership development. They have been in operation in Bahrain since 2006, and have managed and executed multiple development conferences, sessions and seminars covering various topics related to the United Nations Sustainable development goals (SDGs).

The MEPI program responds to needs and emerging opportunities for citizens and organizations that target two core objectives: Participatory Governance, Economic Opportunity.” Adds Shabbir.
“Since receiving the grant we have held multiple workshops delivered by AIESEC team leaders who’ve completed two training courses run by professionals. The training sessions covered the topics of Project Management, Design Thinking, Negotiations, Communication, Data Management, Reportability, Crisis management, Analysis skills, Time management, Tools and trackers usage, and Presentation skills.”
