Centre for Training and Consultancy (CTC) is a non-governmental,
nonprofit organisation, registered in 24th of December 1999
(Registration number 1-7788). CTC aims at civil society development
in Georgia through strengthening the third sector.
CTC builds its activity upon the conviction that strong and
independent NGOs might and should play an important role in the
process of social reforms in Georgia in order to raise the awareness
of basic values like human dignity, individual freedom, social
justice, equal chances, gender equity, empowerment and participation
of underprivileged and marginalized groups. Only if such values are
shared by the wider society a sustainable development towards a just
and civil society will become possible. NGOs should encourage people
to take initiative and individual responsibility for social change
and to participate actively in the process of social reconstruction.
CTC is acting as an intermediary to the implementing NGOs. CTC
analyses social trends and develops the most appropriate response to
challenges faced by implementing NGOs. At the moment, one of the
major ways to be able to respond to the magnitude of social issues
and problems is a sufficient professionalism. CTC supports the
institutional development of the NGO sector, strengthens the
organisational management capacity of local NGOs and promotes mutual
understanding, co-operation and exchange between local NGOs, between
different groups and sectors of the society, between organisations
from different Eastern European--especially Caucasian--countries and
between local and Western organisations.
CTC activities derive from experience of its founders. It is
important to mention that CTC has shared Georgian - Western
experience. The skills of CTC core staff will be complemented by
local and foreign associated specialists for particular training,
consultancy and research work. CTC is also assisted by foreign Health
and Development expert with an extensive international
experience. All this ensures, that its services are relevant and of
high quality.
A main CTC-partner is the Dutch organisation Management for
Developmental Foundations (MDF). MDF experts assist CTC staff in
strategy development, further education of local trainers and
consultants, and in the setup of an internal system for supervision,
monitoring and evaluation.
