01 Development involves active engagement of civil society that takes responsibility for its own growth on the contrary to external actors who come and transfer technical skills from top down. CSOs have been consulted on their needs and the Capacity Development (CD) Programme is shared and discussed with them. Transfer of know-how considers interactive methods, will be done in such a manner that CSOs will be able to co-design the work, and it will be based on adult learning principles, i.e. based on their own experience and that of their peers. Motivation for growth will be taken into account when selecting beneficiaries and CSOs are held accountable for effectiveness of CD Programme in their own organisations and communities;

02 Development foresees a long-term approach rather than short-term or on-off capacity building interventions. The approach is based on life-long learning, so EU TACSO 3 tends to rather set the bases, inspire and equip CSOs with key know-how for greater impact, which can further be built upon by CSOs themselves and other stakeholders in future. Long-term approach is also integrated through transfer of know-how to CD providers among CSOs so that knowledge will be further shared and will stay with civil society.es;
