Program description
Financial Assistance Program funding will help RCDs become more relevant, excellent, and visible by building capacity. Capacity building is an investment in the effectiveness and future sustainability of an organization. While this funding is an initial investment in RCD capacity, the growth, effectiveness and sustainability of an RCD is ultimately the responsibility of the organization.
