Since 2010, LIFT has established or supported nearly 10,000 community based organisations, assisting them with training and knowledge-sharing activites.
In order to better understand the real impact of its support, in 2013 LIFT commissioned a study, the Effectiveness of LIFT Support in Strengthening Civil Society, that provided helpful insights into the results achieved. The study revealed that while it was difficult for LIFT and its implementing partners to identify the effectiveness of civil society strengthening efforts, it was not difficult for local organisations to identify their achievements and improved capacity.
The study highlighted that capacity development success has mostly been related to the organisations’ internal development and their ability to implement projects successfully; less has been achieved with respect to relationships and networking, or in the organisations’ ability to articulate strategy, style, and values.

LIFT has commissioned over 30 studies, reports and surveys to inform programme design and policy development. Please visit our Publications page for more information and copies of the reports.
