About GSL-P
GSL-P (Growth Sustainability and Leadership Programme) is an initiative of Oasis India. Through this project, Oasis India plans to address nonprofit capacity issues in the Northeast India region by offering a Capacity Building Cohort for Grassroots Nonprofits. This program is to build NGOs operating in NE and give a capacity for sustainability by strengthening their internal systems through training, resource development, and strategic planning. This involves improving financial management, governance, and leadership skills, while also focusing on project management, fundraising, and technology to increase operational effectiveness and long-term resilience. Capacity building helps these organizations become more attractive to donors, better serve their communities, and adapt to a changing environment.
What to EXPECT
The programme is designed to take participating NGOs through a series of professional development workshops and pair them with a mentor who will help them develop a capacity building project. Therefore, participants will need to ensure that they can attend the workshops and meet with their mentor throughout the program. Participants will be expected to have no more than two absences during the program and will be expected to complete their organizational capacity project by October/November 2028.
