Running an Organization
In many cases community-based activities with orphans and other vulnerable children have not been started by an established organization but by an informal community group or perhaps a church. In those cases, the people involved need to learn a variety of skills, not only those specific to working with orphans and other vulnerable children, but also more general skills related to running a project, and setting up an organization. Although this section contains some resources which refer to these issues, many more resources are available in the International HIV/AIDS Alliance's NGO/CBO Support Toolkit.
Other sections looking at related issues include doing the work, local advocacy and working with volunteers.
