The Tshikululu Trust, on behalf of three Community Trusts linked to the Pixley ka Seme, Linde and Kalkbult Trusts, invites experienced service providers to submit proposals for the implementation of a Community-Based Organisation (CBO) Organisational Strengthening Programme.
The programme will support CBOs in Hanover, Petrusville, Philipstown and Vanderkloof in the Northern Cape, with the aim of strengthening their governance, operational capabilities and long-term sustainability.
Programme overview
The programme will be implemented over two years, from 2027 to 2028, with annual renewal subject to performance.
- The appointed implementing partner or partners will provide organisational development support through:
- Baseline and endline organisational capacity assessments
- Governance, financial management and human resources training
- Monitoring, evaluation and learning support
- Proposal writing and organisational profile development
- Structured mentorship and ongoing technical support
- Management of eligible seed grants of up to R50,000 per CBO per year
- Networking, peer learning and collaboration
The programme places particular emphasis on local participation, mentorship and skills transfer to ensure that CBOs can continue accessing support beyond the funded period.
Who should apply?
The Trusts invite proposals from experienced organisations with demonstrated expertise in strengthening community-based organisations, particularly in rural, under-resourced and marginalised communities.
Applicants should demonstrate relevant organisational development experience, the capacity to provide locally anchored support and a track record of managing grants or contracts exceeding R500,000 annually.
Implementing partners may apply to deliver the programme across all four communities or within individual communities, depending on their experience and operational capacity.
Local participation or partnerships are essential.
