There are three categories of training existing in our NGO Training and Resource Centre (NGO School).
- Learning by doing: Apprenticeship, on-the-job placements training and mentorship
We at MS4A from experience have learned that individuals learn better by practical on the job training rather than sitting in a classroom to be taught theory. Therefore we are offering a unique opportunity, at an affordable price, for NGOs or those that want to set up an NGO or gain mastery in proposal writing skills to join our NGO as an apprentice student.
NGO owners and their staff will have the opportunity to participate in the workings of an experienced NGO, whose leadership has experience accessing over $40 million dollars in funds through grants from international donors, through apprenticeship, on the job placements training and mentorship.

- NGO School partnership with Donors and International NGOs to customize training courses for grantees, sub-grantees and or local NGOs in general
If you have a group of local NGOs which you have given direct grants or sub-grants and you have concerns about their capacity to deliver your work. Our NGO School can help you develop their capacity. Our NGO School can partner with you to customize training modules and organize on the job placements, to understudy and experience an apprenticeship style learning session; hands-on learning by doing for staff.
We assure you that this will go a long way in improving their performance and their level of compliance; especially when they can learn from another local NGO which has been in the same position they have been. We can share with them our lessons learned and what we did to go from managing small grants of $6,000 per annum to managing millions of US$1.7m dollars in direct grants per annum in 2016.
