// Built by Complexia — a research & advisory institution
What CapLab is
CapLab is Complexia's platform for organizational capacity — where NGOs, CSOs and the funders who back them assess where they stand, understand what it means, and build what's missing. The assessment is where you start. The insights, tools and support are how you grow.
One platform, many ways in
A structured diagnostic across ten dimensions of institutional health — with a scored profile, a peer benchmark, and a prioritized roadmap.
Sharp, practical analysis on what makes organizations strong, what funders look for, and how to survive a volatile funding landscape.
When you know your gaps, our team helps you close them — restructuring, systems, and capacity building that lasts.
A growing family of self-checks, matrices and templates you can use on your own — governance, finance, funding-readiness and more.
Step-by-step resources for the moments that matter most — becoming funding-ready, restructuring without breaking your team.
As organizations across the region assess with CapLab, we'll publish the first real picture of civil-society capacity in North Africa.
How it works
