Capacity Building Initiative CBI is a nationally recognized organization providing quality trainings, facilitation, consultancy and other services to individuals and organizations working for the development of Myanmar. We are altogether 24 people dedicating towards human resource and organizational development of Civil Society Organizations including NGOs, LDOs and CBOs.

 

One of the main interest areas of CBI is to help in NGOs coordination and networking. If an effective networking is to be fully realized, the first important thing is to have full and good knowledge of each other; who we are, what we are doing and how and where. To meet the need, CBI regularly updates directories for both local and international NGOs.
