The MOST Association is implementing the \u201eProject Coordinator School\u201d project, funded by the National Institute for Freedom \u2013 Centre for the Development of Civil Society, as part of the Government\u2019s NOWEFIO Civic Initiatives Fund Programme for 2021\u20132030 (Priority 4: Strengthening the capacities of civil society organisations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this project necessary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Managing a social project requires a simultaneous understanding of many areas: finance, employment law, data protection, accessibility guidelines and the promotion of activities. It is a responsible and demanding role, yet one that is poorly paid \u2013 in a typical project, only a small portion of the administrative budget is set aside for coordination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland lacks a training system for project coordinators \u2013 the training courses available usually focus on managing large, multi-person teams, most often in IT companies, rather than on the realities of small organisations where one person is responsible for the majority of tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, every month the Centre for Non-Governmental Organisations in Katowice receives people who are unable to settle their project accounts correctly \u2013 which prolongs the settlement process and makes it more difficult for organisations to secure further funding. The solution to this shortcoming is to develop a single, consistent standard for the management of social projects and to train the next generation of coordinators, which is the aim of this project<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What shall we do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Standard for the Management of Community Projects.<\/strong>\u00a0We are compiling a comprehensive, practical guide to running social projects \u2013 from procurement and budgeting, through recruitment and accessibility, to promoting activities. The standard will be preceded by a needs assessment involving at least 300 people from organisations. It will be available free of charge online (including in Ukrainian and English) and in print.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. School for Project Coordinators.<\/strong>\u00a0We run free training courses \u2013 both face-to-face and online \u2013 for at least 70 people from non-governmental organisations across Poland, including a separate programme for those for whom Polish is not their first language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Recommendations for legislative changes.<\/strong>\u00a0We are drawing up proposals to simplify the accounting of public funds and submitting them to the relevant institutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Promoting high standards.<\/strong>\u00a0We publish articles, videos and posts so that knowledge about the Standard reaches as wide an audience as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • at least 63 people will complete the course and gain practical skills in project and team management,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • the creation of 1 publicly available Standard for the Management of Community Projects, downloaded at least 1,000 times,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • recommendations for legal simplifications will be drawn up and submitted to the authorities,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Information about the Standard will reach at least 4,000 people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
