CLGF - Punching above its Weight 2011 DFID evaluation: ‘CLGF is a niche international organisation with clear strengths, most notably the breath of its membership and the high levels of trust and ownership across its membership. Whilst it is small..it arguably punches above its weight and is delivering across an impressive number of fronts through direct capacity building programmes through broader policy and advocacy work.’
