Setting Up Your Own NGO?

Registering a civil society organisation creates the legal shell, and a clear roadmap toward fundable capacity is what determines whether that shell ever becomes capable of delivering real impact. Project Genetic has built that foundation for multiple organisations from the ground up, and brings that experience directly to founders starting their own.

Process/

How engagements work

Every engagement begins with an evidence based assessment designed to surface the institutional conditions that will determine what an effective response looks like.

  1. 01

    Initial conversation

    The first step is a direct conversation about where the organisation stands and what the engagement needs to achieve.

  2. 02

    Diagnostic assessment

    A structured assessment follows, mapping the institutional conditions that will shape the response and identifying where the most significant gaps in capacity lie.

  3. 03

    Capacity verification

    Findings are verified against sector evidence to produce an independent assessment that investors and funders can rely on when making allocation decisions.

  4. 04

    Action roadmap

    The verified findings become a prioritised roadmap, sequenced so the most consequential gaps are addressed before resources are committed at scale.

  5. 05

    Implementation support

    Project Genetic stays engaged through delivery, providing advisory support that keeps organisations accountable to the outcomes the roadmap was designed to achieve.

Experience/

Selected Experience

Project Genetic builds on experience accumulated across major bilateral, multilateral and philanthropic funding frameworks.

Community education and health programming reached populations who had no prior access to structured support, with the organisational systems built through this engagement continuing to operate beyond the initial funding period.

Delivered in a post-conflict environment where institutional trust was low and stigma was high, this programme established universal free access to HIV/AIDS treatment and scaled behaviour change communication to populations at highest risk, under bilateral and multilateral donor frameworks requiring continuous compliance throughout.

Sustained across more than a decade, this programme maintained prevention, treatment and support coverage for most-at-risk populations through multiple grant cycles, with governance and reporting discipline preserved throughout transitions in funding architecture.

Regional health engagement work across the Western Balkans connected civil society actors to evidence-based advocacy frameworks, strengthening their capacity to engage with public health governance processes across multiple national contexts.

Industrial air pollution research in affected cities was linked to strategic litigation designed to accelerate decarbonisation, connecting evidence generation directly to legal and policy mechanisms capable of producing enforceable outcomes.

Civil society organisations across the region were supported in contributing measurably to Green Agenda targets, with programming structured to demonstrate that non-governmental actors can produce verifiable outcomes within EU-aligned governance frameworks.

Governance across four Global Fund grant cycles totalling $61 million required direct engagement in programme design, grant negotiation and national-level oversight, with accountability sustained to both domestic institutions and international donors throughout each implementation period.

Why/

Why clients chooseProject Genetic

Project Genetic combines field experience and institutional insight to help organisations and funders work with greater confidence.

Experience Across Funding Systems

Project Genetic builds on more than two decades of managing programmes within bilateral and multilateral donor frameworks. This experience has provided direct exposure to how institutional capital is allocated and evaluated across funding systems and how recipient organisations translate funding requirements into measurable outcomes.

Verified Institutional Perspective

Experience across both funding and implementation roles in international development programmes informs an understanding of funder requirements and the organisational conditions needed for consistent compliance. This perspective is shaped by direct engagement with programme design and delivery environments where accountability expectations and operational constraints must align in practice.

Network of Senior Specialists

Every engagement draws on a network of senior practitioners mobilised according to the specific institutional and geographic demands of the assignment. Clients work with expertise selected for relevance to their context and not structured around the organisational chart of a conventional firm.

We/

Meet Project Genetic

Project Genetic was founded by someone who has sat on both sides of the table, as an implementer accountable to donors and as an adviser helping investors allocate capital effectively.

Srdjan Kukolj established Project Genetic after more than two decades working within bilateral and multilateral donor frameworks, on both the funding and implementation side of the development relationship, with a precise understanding of where capital fails to perform and what verified organisational capacity actually looks like in practice.

The organisation draws on a network of senior specialists mobilised according to the specific requirements of each engagement, ensuring that clients work with expertise calibrated to their context and not to the organisational chart of a conventional firm.
