Well Grounded offers Organisation Development and Leadership Development support to civil society actors, and advocates in favour of more space and power for civil society organisations. Our programmes are designed to support partners to reflect, learn and take conscious action based on their aspirations. The ultimate goal is to support the delivery of high-quality work with sustainable social and environmental impacts.
Our programmes
Organisation Development
Well Grounded seeks to support CSOs, including networks, to become autonomous, strategic & guided by their values. We want CSOs to have a clear understanding of what the organisation aspires to achieve, and for CSO networks to provide an environment that enables members to advance a common agenda.
Women’s Leadership Programme
Well Grounded’s vision is that women CSO leaders can confidently assert their rights, are capable of speaking up about issues affecting them and play an active role in natural resource governance. To achieve this, Well Grounded delivers an Ecofeminist Leadership Programme focusing on a political understanding of gender, power, and patriarchy.
Indigenous Peoples’ Leadership Programme
We support IP organisations and networks to express how systemic challenges affect them, to develop a vision and strategy for their work and to facilitate leadership development in their communities. In particular, we support IP leaders in their exploration of the history of the struggles for indigenous rights in the face of colonialism.
