At CSO Partners we use a multi-disciplinary approach to generate comprehensive and appropriate services packages for CSOs comprising critical inputs from our partner organizations. The inputs are based on an in-depth need assessment of the immediate and long term objectives of CSOs, imperatives of the local context in which they operate, and their readiness to make optimal use of the inputs in their programme delivery. Some of these support services can be readily executed by our support partners whereas other services would require a more concentrated effort. A list of services offered by our network of support partners for CSOs follows. We are in the process of expanding this list. Governance
