Effective and efficient civil society organisations have been a hallmark of successful societies, whether it is in the form of farmer’s federations, arts clubs or other non-governmental organisations.

Alongside La Caixa Foundation and a variety of partners, AKF has worked through Juntos! to enable civil society organisations to access, create and deliver cost-effective and engaging training courses to help them address gaps in knowledge and build their skills.
