The Foundation for Civil Society (FSC) is a Tanzanian non-profit organization which provides grants and other capacity building services to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to enhance their effective engagement in the development processes and poverty reduction initiatives. In order to meet the program’s goal, FCS is focusing on four key results areas: 1) Policy Engagement, 2) Governance and Accountability, 3) Civil Society Capacity Strengthening and 4) Capacity of the Foundation. The grantees are spread all over Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar. Overall, the performance of the FCS grantees shows that there is considerable engagement in policy processes, high level of citizens’ awareness on their rights and are increasingly demanding accountability from public resources. Also, the FCS-supported CSO capacity has been strengthened in terms of its effectiveness, sustainability and accountability.Some recommendations: 1) The FCS should increase its efforts to include civic education through continuous efforts of mobilization and training of all key stakeholders. 2) There is a need to provide capacity building to the grantees in training some local government elected leaders. 3) CSOs should use the opportunities gained from the funding they receive from FCS to develop further their organizational, managerial, and financial and advocacy skills for attracting more funders. 4) Given that most of the FCS-supported CSOs do not have strategic plans, FCS should prioritize its support to enabling them to achieve this important step. 5) There should be a mechanism of recognizing FCS-supported CSOs that are performing as well as assisting those underperforming to do better.
